Elon Tells Twitter: Prove That Bots Aren't a Big Deal, or I Sink This Buyout

of how Twitter identifies and deals with spam. In his tweets, Agrawal stated that to come up with the estimate that spam bots make up less than 5% of users, Twitter has used multiple human-led reviews every quarter. The human reviewers take into account factors like IP address, phone number, geolocation, client and browser signatures, and what the account does when it’s active, among others.

“Unfortunately, we don’t believe that this specific estimation can be performed externally, given the critical need to use both public and private information ,” the Twitter CEO said. “Externally, it’s not even possible to know which accounts are counted as mDAUs on any given day.”Musk responded to Agrawal’s explanation with the poop emoji, apparently calling bullshithas about 229 million total

He can't pay for it

But didn't he wave the due cause?

Sink the deal forced takeover is never good. Should have done your homework

batching his way out of it.

elonmusk fall is going to be spectacular. HBO should lock up the rights.

He's trying to back out of the deal he never should have made. He's not that smart people... Trust fund kid who bought tesla, whose engineers made successful by, and this is important, not listening to him. Hope this doesn't break your bubble, he's just another dumb rich kid.

Puss boy is getting his bluff called. $54 a share bro.

Twitter to Elon Musk

I thought he was going to save free speech and be a new father figure for Trump Followers everywhere?

lol Twitter wasn't even looking to sell genius

Pretty sure he waived due diligence, no?

Twitter replying: “Ooh, I’m scared!”

Just look in the comment section of any given public figure it's obvious that bots are a problem. His comment section is one of the best examples of this. He obviously knows they are a problem.

We all know he is backing out and never had any intentions of buying

No bank or lender will lend him the money, he can't prove profitability. He was never going to buy Twitter. He's a joke.

'[Musk] also asked the Twitter CEO if he had tried calling people to verify if they were bots. Twitter has about 229 million total users.' Last sentence is awful. Twitter's CEO described a method that involved sampling, so implying you would need to call 229M is misleading.

He already knew that, he just doesn’t want to close the deal because all it was is a stunt.

Breaking news: Elon fails to follow through on yet another one of his genius ideas (see: tunnels in LA)

If there are bots in my company, I send it back.

:: taps sign ::

Well there’s a dilemma… I simultaneously want Twitter to abolish bots and Elon Musk to fail at everything he does 😂

With deal in doubt, Elon Musk and Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal debate bots on TwitterTwitter CEO Parag Agrawal and Elon Musk are engaged in a debate over an issue Musk has made central to his proposed purchase of the platform — spam. I consider Musk tweets as spam. As observed by Kochhar (2015, p. 1), within this global sphere, 7 out of 10 people ‘live on $10 or less per day’, a view supported by the World Bank (2021), which provides further evidence that more than 37% of people live below the poverty line elonmusk realizing twitter is not worth 54 billion just buy the whole nba .. much more profit than having twitter for 54 billion lols real value of twitter is 2 billion tops

The bot excuse is a cover for him to pull out of a deal that he can’t afford.

Elon Musk Says Twitter Deal ‘Cannot Move Forward’ Until Company Proves Spam, Fake Account NumbersIn the latest turn of Elon Musk’s will-he-or-won’t-he Twitter buyout saga, the billionaire is demanding hard proof of the social network’s assertion that less than 5% of its users… He’s about to renegotiate and buy Twitter for $20bil. By that time the stock will have tumbled and Twitter will have no choice but to take the deal. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ve been thinking about this. How is this possible “to prove” as earth exists? Some humans abandon accounts who exist. I used Twitter for work for a decade+ via non-use of this open account given medicines adverse event reporting compliance & doing Tweets for companies. Etc. 🍀 I really hope they don't prove anything, but I think it is a cop out. It's like how Trump claims it was election fraud when he lost, so he doesn't have to admit defeat...

Elon Musk doubles down on support for this Twitter feature | Digital TrendsElonMusk has again recommended people use the latest-tweets feed as he believes the algorithm-based one could manipulate users 'in ways you don't realize.' I've only ever used latest just because I don't want to see week old tweets constantly. I hope his self drive cars make clear decisions… left no right Like suspending your account
