Twitter now plans to grant Elon Musk access to data on bots: Report
Microblogging platform Twitter’s board now plans to grant Elon Musk access to the massive stream of “firehose” data comprising more than 500 million tweets posted each day, the Washington Post reported citing a person familiar with the company’s thinking.
Soon after making a $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter in April, Musk has been asking for information about spam and fake accounts.
On Monday he threatened to walk away from the deal if the company fails to provide the data.
To end the standoff with the billionaire, Twitter board has plans to comply with access to data that he says is necessary to evaluate the number of fake users on the platform.
