A poll by Tesla CEO Elon Musk has revealed that nearly 65 percent of his followers do not believe in Twitter’s claim that less than five percent of daily users are fake/spam on the platform.
Musk, who is fighting a bitter legal battle with Twitter over the cancellation of the $44 billion takeover deal, last week began a Twitter poll among his 102.8 million followers on whether Twitter’s claim of less than five percent of daily users is fake/spam is true or false.
While 35 percent said Twitter is telling the truth, nearly 65 percent said this is not the case and the number of fake accounts is much higher. “Twitter has spoken,” Musk said on Monday.
The Tesla CEO has said that if Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal can prove the actual number of fake accounts, then the terminated deal can still move forward, IANS reported.
“If Twitter simply provides their method of sampling 100 accounts and how they’re confirmed to be real, the deal should proceed on original terms,” Musk tweeted.
