The move comes after the billionaire threatened to break the purchase agreement over the company’s reluctance to provide information due to the number of fake profiles.
The ball over the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk is again with the richest man in the world. After threatening this Monday for the first time to break the purchase agreement if the company did not provide him with the data on the number of fake accounts and “bots” on the social network, the company is going to give Musk access to the « jet “full of data from the social network, although in principle, and therefore the order came from Musk, he was reluctant.
In other words, Twitter is responding to Musk’s rant with a body of information that won’t be easy to analyze. And it is that, according to The Washgton Post, in the 16 years of activity the billionaire will have access to the content of all accounts and all tweets shared on the social network. By way of refinement, more than 750 million posts are published on the platform every year, according to data from 2021.
In this way, Musk will be able to find the answers to his own questions about the number of fake accounts and spam prevalent in the company he plans to buy. That is, it is considered a total exercise of transparency with which the social network tries to meet the demands made by the future owner of the company since the purchase process agreed for 44,000 million dollars (41,000 million euros).
With such an amount of information, you can check firsthand whether the number of fake accounts is less than 5% of the total number of users, as the company assured, or, on the contrary, it was correct and this number is up to 20%. , as the billionaire has denounced. In other words, if Musk verifies that the data provided by the company is correct, he has no legitimate reason to shut down the operation.
Scott Bisang, a Twitter spokesperson, told The Washington Post that the social network “has shared and will continue to share information with Mr. Musk to complete the transaction in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement.” “We believe that this agreement is best for all shareholders. We intend to complete the transaction and enforce the merger agreement at the agreed price and terms.”
