Just last month, Musk threatened to withdraw the deal if it was not proven that less than 5% of Twitter's total users had spam accounts. Musk's lawyer said that information about fake or spam accounts was sought on the Twitter platform, which was not answered or denied. Twitter violated the terms of the agreement and provided false information.

 

The condition was to bring down the number of fake accounts below 5%

 

Elon Musk's condition was that Twitter should reduce spam and fake accounts from its platform to below 5%. Twitter, on the other hand, had said that it was deleting 1 million spam accounts daily. Musk had been complaining for months that Twitter was underreporting the number of these accounts included in the user base.

 

However, the company has denied Musk's claim, saying that the number of fake accounts is less than 5% of the total number of users. Musk believes that the number of spam accounts on Twitter is more than 5%.
