Musk has not taken the whole thing lying down. He has filed a countersuit against Twitter, accusing the social media platform of fraud. Twitter has responded to the countersuit with a 127 page document of its own (opens as PDF), while the company’s chairman, Bret Taylor, dismissed the allegations in the countersuit as “factually inaccurate, legally insufficient, and commercially irrelevant.”
However, the latest developments have taken place outside of the courtroom. The entire spat has been quite public, and perhaps unsurprisingly, the South African-born entrepreneur would like to end it in public too. While replying to a data analyst who was backing his bot claims, Musk openly challenged Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal to a debate. Musk tweeted, “I hereby challenge @paraga to a public debate about the Twitter bot percentage,” adding that Agrawal should prove Twitter has less than 5% “fake or spam daily users.”
Earlier in the thread, Musk tweeted that if Twitter discloses the methodology it uses to determine if an account is real or not, the deal the parties first agreed on “should proceed on original terms.” On the other hand, Musk also added that the deal should not proceed if it turns out Twitter’s “SEC filings are materially false.” Neither Twitter nor Agrawal have responded to Musk’s challenge at the time of this article’s publication.
