What Is Happening to the Elon Musk Twitter Deal?

What Is Happening to the Elon Musk Twitter Deal?

Are you wondering what is happening to the $40 Billion deal struck by Elon Musk with Twitter? Especially with the Tesla tycoon tweeting almost every hour of the day and media crowding around the tweets to put up multiple stories, makes it confusing to keep up with updates on the deal. Well, at the moment the deal is stuck because Musk has had some disagreements with Twitter.

Twitter stock has been dropping since the time Musk put a pin on the deal. The deal is in an attempt to turn Twitter into an absolute free speech platform. He has also vowed to bring back banned Twitter accounts including the Donald Trump Twitter account. 

Why Is The Elon Musk Twitter Deal Stuck?

Musk has demanded Twitter to release details of fake accounts on the social media platform. He tweeted that the  “deal cannot move forward” until the platform gives him detailed data about Twitter bot numbers. He asked the company to provide him with proof to justify its claims of Twitter hosting less than 5% spam accounts. However, Twitter respecting Musk’s wish seems unlikely, considering Parag Agrawal, CEO of Twitter defended the company’s “less than 5% spam users” claim in a series of tweets.

“Fighting spam is incredibly dynamic. The adversaries, their goals, and tactics evolve constantly – often in response to our work! You can’t build a set of rules to detect spam today and hope they will still work tomorrow. They will not,” tweeted Agrawal, adding, “Our team updates our systems and rules constantly to remove as much spam as possible, without inadvertently suspending real people or adding unnecessary friction for real people when they use Twitter: none of us want to solve a captcha every time we use Twitter.”

Justifying Twitter’s claim Agrawal said, “Now, we know we aren’t perfect at catching spam. And so this is why, after all the spam removal I talked about above, we know some still slip through. We measure this internally. And every quarter, we have estimated that <5% of reported mDAU for the quarter are spam accounts.”

The “Poo” Response

Musk replied to Agrawal’s long winding series of tweets with a “poo” emoji. Musk stood by his belief saying Twitter was underestimating the figure.  According to a Bloomberg report, during a tech conference, he said that Twitter might have four times more spam accounts than the claimed figures. A few days ago Musk said that Agrawal had refused to furnish proof that shows less than 5% of the accounts are fake. Musk claims that 20% fake accounts on Twitter.

The Bloomberg report also cited that Musk slashing the price of the deal was “not out of question”. After all, the Tesla tycoon being the crafty person that he is, there are chances that he might have planned the “5% spam user” move just to bring the cost of the acquisition down. He has already had to sell a chunk of his Tesla shares to find his Twitter acquisition, which is worrying the Tesla investors.

Deciding the Winner of the Elon Musk Twitter Deal

There is a $1 billion termination fee if either party chooses to withdraw from the deal. The social media giants seem to be holding on to their end of the agreement while Musk is bringing out new problems. The Elon Musk Twitter deal might also face regulatory scrutiny. If the deal goes through Musk will be the king of a social media platform along with two powerful corporations. Looks like Musk is only going to get more richer and powerful.
