According to the results of a survey that was conducted by Elon Musk, who is the CEO of Tesla, nearly 65 percent of his followers do not believe Twitter’s claim that less than 5 percent of the platform’s daily users are fake or spam accounts.
Musk, who is currently engaged in a heated legal battle with Twitter over the cancellation of the $44 billion takeover deal, started a poll on Twitter last week among his 102.8 million followers to determine whether or not the claim that less than 5 percent of daily users are fake or spam accounts.
In spite of the fact that 35% of respondents believed Twitter to be telling the truth, nearly 65% of respondents maintained that this was not the case and that the number of fake accounts is significantly higher.
On Monday, Musk said, “Twitter has spoken,” and he was right.
The CEO of Tesla has stated that the terminated deal may still be salvaged if Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal can provide evidence of the actual number of fake accounts that exist on the platform.
Musk tweeted that the deal should proceed on its original terms if Twitter simply provided their method of sampling 100 accounts and how they’re confirmed to be real.
“However, in the event that it turns out that the filings they have made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are materially false, then it should not,” he added.

A public debate on fake accounts and spam has also been challenged for by Musk to Agrawal amid the ongoing legal dispute between the two parties.
I hereby issue a public challenge to Parag Agrawal to engage in a discussion about the percentage of Twitter bots. Let him demonstrate to the general public that less than one percent of Twitter’s daily users are fake or spam accounts! He shared his thoughts on Twitter.
Pranay Pathole, a rabid supporter of Musk, took aim at the SEC in a post on Reddit, writing, “I wonder what’s SEC is doing here? Do they even bother to investigate the questionable claims that are being made on Twitter?
“That’s an excellent question; why aren’t they?” Musk gave his response.
Twitter has provided a comprehensive response to the countersuit that Elon Musk has brought against the microblogging platform, in which it calls Musk’s claims “factually inaccurate, legally insufficient, and commercially irrelevant.”
Musk claims that Twitter tricked him into signing a merger agreement worth $44 billion, and that he was duped into doing so.
