Elon Musk has challenged Twitter's CEO to a public debate over the platform's fake accounts and spam bots. crypto cryptocurrency ElonMusk
Musk put up a 24-hour Twitter poll Saturday asking his 103 million followers if they think that less than 5% of Twitter daily users are fake or spam. A total of 822,766 votes were counted: 64.9% picked “no.”
While Twitter claims that less than 5% of its daily users are fake or spam accounts, Musk disagreed and has been trying to obtain data from the social media giant to conduct his own analysis with no success.: “All indications suggest that several of Twitter’s public disclosures regarding its mDAUs are either false or materially misleading … The proportion of false and spam accounts included in the reported mDAU count is wildly higher than 5%.
Twitter defines mDAUs as “users who logged in and accessed Twitter on any given day through Twitter.com or Twitter applications that are able to show ads.” Twitter’s disclosures include those filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission .Musk claims that Twitter provided him with outdated data, offered a fake data set, and then provided a clean data set where they already suspended the malicious accounts.
Musk detailed in his countersuit that three days after he signed the agreement to buy Twitter, the social media company “restated and publicly disclosed that the mDAU figures in the 2021 10-K were false and that Twitter had overcounted mDAU by up to 1.9 million in each quarter.”
