‘Twitter has spoken’: Musk on poll over company’s claim on fake users

A poll by Tesla CEO Elon Musk has revealed that nearly 65 per cent of his followers do not believe in Twitter’s claim that less than 5 per cent of daily users are fake/spam on the platform.

Musk, who is fighting a bitter legal battle with Twitter over the cancellation of the $44 billion takeover deal, last week began a Twitter poll among his 102.8 million followers on whether Twitter’s claim of less than 5 per cent of daily users are fake/spam.

While 35 per cent said Twitter is telling the truth, nearly 65 per cent said this is not the case and the number of fake accounts are much higher.
