Elon Musk's deal to buy Twitter remains threatened by bots

Elon Musk's $44 billion deal to buy Twitter is still in danger due to concerns over the number of bots on the social media site, according to reports.

Mr Musk has yet to receive clarity on the bots figure, despite being given access to internal data, The Washington Post reported.

His team is preparing for a “change in direction”, the Post said.

The world's richest person has previously threatened to withdraw from the deal unless proof that less than 5 per cent of accounts were spam and fake was provided.

At an event in Qatar last month, Mr Musk said he was still waiting for a resolution on the issue and “that is a very significant matter”.

Meanwhile, Twitter said in a briefing on Thursday that it removes a million spam accounts each day, and repeated that spam accounts were well under 5 per cent of users who are served advertising.
