https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-challenges-twitter-ceo-to-public-debate-bot-data-2022-8• Elon Musk issued a "challenge" to Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal on Saturday.
• The billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO called for a public debate on how Twitter reports its spam bots and fake accounts.
• Musk has repeatedly accused Twitter of having far more bots than it reports, citing this as one reason he no longer wants to buy the company.
Elon Musk is once again challenging Twitter on the data it reports on spam bots and fake accounts, and this time he wants a public debate to settle the matter.
"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. However, if it turns out that their SEC filings are materially false, then it should not," Musk wrote.
In a follow-up tweet, he added: "I hereby challenge @paraga to a public debate about the Twitter bot percentage. Let him prove to the public that Twitter has <5% fake or spam daily users!" He also created a poll, asking for yes or no answers to the prompt "Less than 5% of Twitter daily users are fake/spam."
