Earlier, in response to questions from Twitter users, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that if Twitter can clearly explain how to identify accounts as robots or fake accounts, he will proceed with the original plan to acquire Twitter.
At present, Elon Musk still believes that the data provided by Twitter is not true, and emphasizes that if the content of the documents submitted by Twitter to the US Securities and Exchange Commission is false, he will naturally not continue to acquire Twitter.
Even in his earlier response to Twitter users, Elon Musk even challenged Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, calling on Twitter to disclose the actual proportion of fake accounts and robot accounts to the public and prove that the proportion is indeed less than 5%.
And hereby challenge @paraga to a public debate about the Twitter bot percentage.
Let him prove to the public that Twitter has <5% fake or spam daily users!

In a previous statement, Elon Musk said that Twitter's method of sampling only 100 groups of accounts was too simple, and believed that it distorted the real data. He also estimated that the use of fake Twitter accounts may be more than imagined. Therefore, he subsequently refused to continue to complete the acquisition for US$440 billion on the grounds that Twitter had not fulfilled its responsibility to provide real data.
Twitter, on the other hand, believes that Elon Musk refused to continue the acquisition mainly because it had to spend a higher amount of money, which led Elon Musk to refuse the acquisition on the grounds of fake accounts, and then filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk. The Delaware Court of Appeal in the United States has ruled that the case will be heard between October 10 and 17 this year.
