Elon Musk tweeted on Saturday that Twitter Inc.’s (NYSE:TWTRlegal) team said he broke a non-disclosure agreement by saying that the sample size for the social media platform’s automatic user checks was 100.
Musk, CEO of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), an electric car company, tweeted, “Twitter legal just called to complain that I broke their non-disclosure agreement by saying that the bot check sample size is 100.”
Musk tweeted on Friday that his $44 billion plan to take the company private with cash was “temporarily on hold” while he waited for data on how many fake accounts the company had.
He said that in order to find the bots, his team will look at “a random sample of 100 Twitter followers.” Someone on Twitter made a claim about how he answered a question.
When asked to “explain how bot accounts are checked,” Musk said, “I picked 100 as the sample size number, because that is what Twitter uses to calculate <5% fake/spam/duplicate.”
Musk tweeted early Sunday morning that he hadn’t seen “any” study showing that less than 5 percent of the social media giant’s accounts are fake.
Later, he said, “There is some chance it might be over 90% of daily active users.”
