Elon Musk doesn't seem to feel like he's had enough with Twitter at the court. The richest man in the world also challenged Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal for a public debate about the number of bot accounts on Twitter.
In a series of tweets posted on Twitter, Musk initially replied to a follower's tweet summarizing his allegations against Twitter, including accusations that Twitter provided outdated data, and fake data sets when Musk asked for details on how they calculated the number of active users and estimates for spam and accounts. bots.
Musk responded by saying that he was willing to continue the Twitter acquisition process, but on the condition that the social media bird logo must provide the actual number of bot accounts.
"If Twitter provides a method for sampling their 100 accounts and how they can confirm them as genuine accounts, this deal should proceed under the original terms," Musk said.
"However, if it turns out that the documents they filed with the SEC (United States Securities and Exchange Commission) are found to be wrong, then it should not proceed," he continued.
After the reply, Musk created a poll on Twitter asking his followers to vote whether the number of fake or spam accounts on Twitter was less than 5%. Musk provides two options, namely 'Yes' followed by three robot emoji, and 'Lmaooo no'.
Not quite there, Musk also challenged Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal to argue about the number of bot accounts on his platform. Though Musk and Twitter will soon face off in court after Twitter sued Musk for canceling the acquisition.
"I challenge @paraga to a public debate on the percentage of Twitter bots. Let him prove to the public that Twitter has <5% of fake or spam daily users!" Musk wrote in his tweet.
I hereby challenge @paraga to a public debate about the Twitter bot percentage.
Let him prove to the public that Twitter has <5% fake or spam daily users!
