"Assuming Twitter is positive about its advertised spam gauges, Mr. Musk doesn't comprehend the organization's hesitance to permit Mr. Musk to assess those appraisals freely."
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has opened an examination on doubt that Twitter is disregarding a state regulation against misleading exchange rehearses by revealing bogus data about its bot accounts.
"Assuming Twitter has underreported its number of phony bot accounts, these numbers could have harmed Texas buyers and organizations," Paxton said on Monday.
