Elon Musk says Twitter legal team accused him of violating nondisclosure agreement

On Saturday, Elon Musk tweeted that Twitter’s legal team accused him of violating a nondisclosure agreement by revealing that the sample size for the social media platform’s checks on automated users was 100.

Musk initially tweeted, “Any sensible random sampling process is fine. If many people independently get similar results for % of fake/spam/duplicate accounts, that will be telling. I picked 100 as the sample size number, because that is what Twitter uses to calculate <5% fake/spam/duplicate.”

“Twitter legal just called to complain that I violated their NDA by revealing the bot check sample size is 100!” Musk tweeted lot long afterwards.

Musk tweeted during the early hours of Sunday that he is yet to see “any” analysis that shows that the social media company has fake accounts less than 5%. He later said that “There is some chance it might be over 90% of daily active users.”

Musk announced earlier this month that he had bought Twitter. The deal could take several months to materialize. It has been reported that The Federal Trade Commission probe and as shareholders must accept the proposal to buy their shares at $54.20.

Twitter’s general manager Bruce Falck and Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal both recently announced that they will be leaving the company.
