Citing a May 2022 Protocol article, Twitter's court filing said that "the Botometer indicated that Elon Musk's own Twitter account was likely a bot, scoring it 4/5." Musk’s Botometer score now more “human-like” The Botometer website is a project of the Observatory on Social Media and the Network Science Institute at Indiana University. Specifically, Musk used "an Internet application called the 'Botometer'-which applies different standards than Twitter does and which earlier this year designated Musk himself as highly likely to be a bot," Twitter said.
"Musk can produce a higher estimate only by running a data set neither limited to nor inclusive of mDAU through a generic web tool that designated his own Twitter account a likely 'bot.' The result is a distortion that Musk is hoping will nonetheless make waves," Twitter said. Twitter's court filing said Musk's own analysis used a publicly available website to find "that false or spam accounts constitute at least 10 percent of Twitter's monetizable daily active users," but "Musk is not measuring the same thing as Twitter or even using the same data as Twitter." Musk has defended his attempt to break the merger agreement by questioning Twitter's public disclosure that less than 5 percent of its monetizable daily active users (mDAU) are spam or fake. Twitter: Musk used tool that labeled his account a bot Musk signed and is obligated to consummate the merger agreement," Twitter wrote. "Musk's Counterclaims, based as they are on distortion, misrepresentation, and outright deception, change nothing. Twitter apparently chose not to make any redactions. Twitter's filing was in response to Musk's defense and counterclaims, which were submitted last week but not made public immediately because Twitter was given time to request redactions. And it is just that-a story, imagined in an effort to escape a merger agreement that Musk no longer found attractive once the stock market-and along with it, his massive personal wealth-declined in value." "This story is as implausible and contrary to fact as it sounds.
"According to Musk, he-the billionaire founder of multiple companies, advised by Wall Street bankers and lawyers-was hoodwinked by Twitter into signing a $44 billion merger agreement," Twitter wrote.
Twitter yesterday slammed Elon Musk's response to the company's lawsuit in a 127-page filing in the Delaware Court of Chancery that says Musk's claims are "contradicted by the evidence and common sense." Twitter's court filing also said Musk's spam analysis relied on a tool that once called his own Twitter account a likely bot.
