Today’s remarks come just days after Musk claimed his acquisition of the social media network was “temporarily on hold” due to concerns over the amount of reported spam or phony accounts. He then stated that he is “still dedicated to [the] acquisition.”
The Tesla CEO’s efforts to obtain clarification on these figures resulted in a public confrontation with Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal on Monday. Agrawal provided information on the number of spam accounts that Twitter suspends each day, as well as how the team identifies them. He did, however, add, “we don’t feel this specific estimation can be accomplished outside, given the important necessity to use both public and private information (which we can’t release).” Musk used the excrement emoji to respond to his lengthy tweet thread.
