His long-time Twitter buddy Pranay Pathole posted that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should strictly look into this and investigate these claims made by Twitter. “Hello??? @SECGov,” Musk replied.
Twitter claims to suspend over 1 million spam accounts a day
The Tesla CEO has apparently terminated the deal because of the presence of bots on the platform. Last week, Twitter claimed it is suspending more than one million spam accounts a day. “That is indeed the real question,” Musk replied.
Twitter CEO earlier said half a million spam accounts suspended each day
The new figure doubled the previous update from Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal who said that the platform removes 5,00,000 spam accounts a day. “We suspend over half a million spam accounts every day, usually before any of you even see them on Twitter. We also lock millions of accounts each week that we suspect may be spam — if they can’t pass human verification challenges (captchas, phone verification, etc),” Agrawal had tweeted in May.
Musk to pay $1 billion termination fees to Twitter
Musk will have to pay $1 billion in termination fees to the micro-blogging platform. As per an earlier filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), “Musk will be required to pay Twitter a termination fee of $1 billion”, if he cancels the deal.
