Billionaire Elon Musk challenged Twitter Incʼs chief executive officer Parag Agrawal to a public debate. They will argue about the percentage of bots in this social network, which Musk refused to buy.
"Let him prove to the public that Twitter has <5% fake or spammy users every day," Musk wrote.
He also launched a survey asking users for their thoughts on the matter.
The day before, the Twitter company in the Delaware state court rejected the statements of Elon Musk that he was deceived in order to sign an agreement to acquire the social network.
- On April 5, 2022, Elon Musk bought a 9.2% stake in Twitter, after which the company offered him a seat on the board of directors. Musk refused and, on April 14, offered to buy Twitter for $44 billion, but delays began in this matter. Mask failed to verify information about fake accounts.
- On July 8, he said he was refusing to buy the company and accused Twitter of breaching the deal because of "false data about the number of fake accounts on the platform."
- Twitter filed a lawsuit over the legality of the businessmanʼs refusal to buy it for $44 billion. Elon Musk filed a counterclaim on July 29.
