He said his team would test a "random sample of 100 followers" on Twitter to identify bots. Here's his response to a question that sparked Twitter's accusations.
When one user asked Musk to "describe the bot account filtering process," he replied: "I chose 100 as the sample size number, because that's what Twitter uses to calculate <5% fake/spam/duplicates."
Musk tweeted in the early hours of Sunday, May 15 that he had not seen “any” analysis showing that social media companies had fewer than 5% fake accounts. He went on to say that "There is likely to be more than 90% of daily active users."
