Notably, he said on Friday that his $44 billion cash plan to take the company private was ‘temporarily on pause’ while he awaited statistics on the percentage of bogus accounts on the platform.
To identify the bots, he said his team would test ‘a random sample of 100 followers’ on Twitter. Twitter made the charge after his response to a query.
“I picked 100 as the sample size number, because that is what Twitter uses to calculate, said Elon Musk, when a user asked Musk to elaborate on process of filtering bot accounts.
