Elon Musk slams Twitter for lack of transparency on bots

Elon Musk expressed skepticism at Twitter's willingness to address the presence of bots on their platform.

Musk expressed frustration with the platform's lack of transparency on bot users after he was asked about his negotiations with the social media company.

I am worried that Twitter has a disincentive to reduce spam, as it reduces perceived daily users, as it reduces perceived daily users, Musk said.

They still don't explain how they calculated that 5% of daily users are fake spam! He added in a separate tweet that he was very suspicious.

In the past few weeks, Musk has come under fire after he announced his intentions to buy the social media platform. Critics have accused the CEO of rushing into his announcement after questions about the use of bots and how automated users would affect the company's price.

Musk has publicly remained committed to buying Twitter.

During a live episode of the All-In Podcast at a Miami tech conference, Musk stated that he would be voting Republican in the upcoming elections despite his track record of almost exclusively voting Democrat.

He stated that I voted overwhelmingly for Democrats. I'm not sure, I might never have voted for a Republican, just to be clear. I will do it this time. He gave a tad to Republicans, who claimed their side's problems come from corporate evil and religious zealotry. Musk has claimed to be a moderate in the past.

The news that Musk would vote for Republicans in the next cycle stunned Twitter users.
