Elon Musk Tweets deal ‘temporarily on hold over spam’

<p>Elon Musk&#39;s $43 B proposal to buy Twitter is &#39;on hold pending details supporting computation that spam/fake accounts do indeed comprise less than 5% of users. &#39; It&#39;s difficult to tell if this is real or just a publicity ploy, given Musk&#39;s proclivity for trolling. According to Twitter&#39;s filing, spam accounts accounted for fewer than 5% of DAU in Q1. However, if this is the case, Musk&#39;s plan to remove spambots from Twitter may be called into question.</p>
