With this, Elon is informing the public of his official backing off from the Twitter deal, due to a refusal and avoidance to provide a data that he values as critical. For months the billionaire is asking for the fake/spam account data, to get a sense on how much actual users does the social media have. For some reason, this is not shared by the executives. Moreover, they avoid providing any data and any information on the method used for determining the percentage of fake accounts as well.

“It just seems like an absolute mess.” – One senior media executive states. “The guy makes his own rules … I’d hate to be Twitter, where you have to take this guy seriously.”
