The uncertainty between Elon Musk and Twitter continues. The businessman suspended his purchases after the platform made a statement about fake and spam accounts last week. Stating that he will do nothing until the data in question is verified, Musk has not backed down from his decision so far.
Although Twitter claims that fake and spam accounts account for less than 5 percent of total users, published reports show the opposite. Will there be a deal under these conditions? An official statement on the matter came out a short time ago.
Twitter: We are committed to the agreement
In line with the developments to date, we can say that Elon Musk does not believe Twitter’s fake and spam account statement. Because this rate, announced by the platform, is at a very low level if we look at the reports shared on the subject.
For example, third-party research firms SparkToro and Followerwonk recently revealed in their report that 19.42 percent of 44 thousand 58 accounts active on Twitter in the last 90 days are fake or spam. In addition, 23.42 percent of 26.8 million followers of Elon Musk, who has 93.4 million followers, are fake or spam accounts.
In the research, it was emphasized that if the last 90 days criterion is removed, an estimated 70.23 percent of Elon Musk’s followers may be fake or spam. In other words, we can say that these data are 4 times that of Twitter.
Twitter believes that despite this disagreement, the deal will be completed positively. The company promised in the SEC filing released last night that the deal would be completed as soon as possible without any change in price and terms.
Elon Musk wants to lower the price in the Twitter deal!
Let us mention that there is another important detail here. Because, according to Bloomberg, Elon Musk wants to reduce the price of the agreement after the number of fake and spam accounts is higher than expected. However, for now, there is no progress on this issue.
