Tesla CEO, who was interested in buying Twitter at one time, said that spam and fake accounts on Twitter were much more than claimed. Musk also did not agree with the idea that 5% of users on the platform are bots.

These tags are added to a limited number of accounts; verified phone number badge can be valid for millions of accounts.
