Elon Musk’s infamous “poop emoji” response to Twitter’s explanation of its policies toward spam bots surfaced this week as the two sides prepare for a legal battle over their abandoned $44 billion …
to a lengthy discussion of spam bots by Twitter’s CEO — and it was nearly as succinct as the original, scatological tweet.
Musk had tweeted the emoji on May 16 in response to a lengthy thread by Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal – who defended the company’s assertion that fake accounts comprised less than 5% of the overall user pool. In a new tweet Thursday, Musk addressed Twitter’s citation of the exchange in its lawsuit demanding that Musk follow through on his $44 billion takeover of the company – noting that his use of the off-color emoji signaled his view that Agrawal’s claims “=bs.”
Twitter’s legal team had presented the tweet and others as evidence that Musk had “violated his obligations” under the original merger deal in which he agreed to buy the social media company. “Since signing the merger agreement, Musk has repeatedly disparaged Twitter and the deal, creating business risk for Twitter and downward pressure on its share price,” Twitter’s attorneys argue in the complaint filed on Tuesday.
