The world’s richest man is set to acquire twitter with a $44 billion deal.
But on Friday, Musk tweeted that his cash deal to take the company private was “temporarily on hold”
This comes as he waits on data regarding fake accounts on the platform.

Musk added later that he is “still committed to the acquisition”.
