Tensions between Elon Musk and Twitter are at their highest after the entrepreneur’s decision to cancel his takeover bid, while Tesla and Starlink’s boss leaves the door open for negotiations to resume. However, it imposes a very special condition, which indicates that the trend is more towards canceling the trade.
On Twitter, Elon Musk announces he’s ready to restart the process “according to original conditions” Whether Twitter has sent him 100 account sampling methods and how the platform has confirmed whether they are genuine. So Elon Musk wants to know how the social network selected the 100 test accounts used to determine the proportion of fake accounts on Twitter as a whole, and by what means it predicts whether an account is fake or true.
Twitter for Elon Musk lied to him
Elon Musk states that if the documents submitted by Twitter to the SEC, the regulatory and control body of financial markets in the United States, are found to contain false data, the takeover will be buried forever. Obviously, Elon Musk already has an opinion on this and is convinced that Twitter is lying.
Good summary of the problem.
If Twitter simply provides a method of sampling 100 accounts and how they are verified as genuine, the deal should continue on the original terms.
However, if the SEC filings turn out to be materially false, they shouldn’t.

More specifically, Twitter is initially accused of being deliberately vague. The company would then provide the dated data followed by an irrelevant dataset. Finally, it was alleged that Twitter tried to trick Elon Musk by sharing data based on a sanitized sample that was previously cleared of fake accounts.
