The head of Twitter has defended the platform after Musk’s fake accounts stint over the weekend

Chief executive Parag Agrawal says he has “confidence” in the firm’s claims that less than 5 per cent of users are spam.

According to the head honcho, twitter suspends around 500,000 accounts daily.

In fact, Agrawal claimed twitter shared an overview of how it determines which accounts are real or spam with Musk himself.

The chief says margins of error are well within its estimate of spam accounts representing less than 5 per cent of daily users.

This all comes as Musk says he had put the deal on hold pending information that spam accounts actually do make up less than 5 per cent of users

Analysts have speculated that Musk may be looking for ways to renegotiate the price of the deal or walk away.
