Elon Musk suggests decreasing Twitter width based on bot count

Suggest Elon Musk Saturday, his agreement to buy Twitter for $44 billion and make it private should be cut in proportion to the number of bots on the platform.

Musk tweeted “absolutely” in response to Ian Miles Cheung, who tweeted: “If 25% of users are bots then Twitter takeover deal It should cost 25% less.”

The Tesla CEO also expressed skepticism about Twitter’s desire to address the presence of bots on their platform, tweeting, “I’m concerned that Twitter has a spam-reduction inhibitor, as it reduces perceived daily users.”

“They still refuse to explain how they calculate that 5% of daily users are fake/spam! Very suspicious,” he added in a separate tweet.
