Tensions between Elon Musk and Twitter continue to escalate. Elon Musk has sued former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to speak out about his acquisition of the social media company. The Tesla executive underlines that the $44 billion purchase was suspended because of bot accounts.
Elon Musk wants Jack Dorsey to speak for Twitter bots
Musk, who withdrew from the $ 44 billion Twitter bid, was in court with Twitter. Before the hearing to be held on October 17, the lawyers of the parties are heard. Finally, Elon Musk’s lawyers called Twitter founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey to court.
We don’t know if Jack Dorsey will go to court and testify, but he’s kept quiet about spam and bot accounts. Dorsey, who has a close relationship with Elon Musk, especially because of cryptocurrencies, can detail how accounts on Twitter are measured.
Twitter said in its latest financial reports that bots or fake accounts make up less than 5 percent of its user base. Saying that he withdrew from the $ 44 billion Twitter deal, Elon Musk thinks that the number of unreal accounts on the platform is more than 10 percent.
The issue of bots and spam accounts between Elon Musk and Twitter has become the main issue in the legal fight. Last week, it was alleged that Elon Musk would receive some of the extra information he requested from Twitter. This information includes analytics about bots and spam accounts.
After all these developments, there were movements in Twitter shares. The stock, which fell 2.1 percent throughout the day, fell to $ 43.06. That’s about 21 percent behind the $54.20 price Musk committed to buying Twitter in April.
