Elon Musk stated his team will "do a random sample of 100 followers of @Twitter" in order to test the finding that fewer than 5% of the social network's daily users are fake accounts. "I invite others to repeat the same process and see what they discover," Musk added, APA reports citing Teletrader.

The entrepreneur announced on Friday that his deal to acquire Twitter has been put on hold "pending details supporting calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users." The calculation is part of a filing by Twitter and is related to the first quarter of 2022.
