Elon Musk: Twitter deal cannot progress without proof on bot numbers

19 May 2022 By theguardian

The Tesla chief executive used his Twitter account to say the agreed deal would not progress until the firm showed proof that only a small proportion of its users were fake.

Twitter shares, which have been affected by speculation that the deal might founder, were trading at $37.39 on Tuesday.

Fake or spam accounts, known as bot accounts, are automated and not run by human users. They may use the reply function or direct messages to send adverts or scams to users, or represent attempts to influence public discourse by tweeting political propaganda.
