Musk wants US SEC to probe Parag Agrawal’s claim on Twitter users

San Francisco : Opening another front against Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday asked the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to probe whether Twitter’s claim on the number of its user base is true.
Replying to a follower who said that if it turns out that Twitter lied in the official filing, serious consequences and complete distrust of investors can await it, Musk replied: “Hello @SECGov, anyone home?” While Twitter said in its SEC filing that less than 5 per cent of its monetisable daily active users (mDAUs) are fake, Musk believes the number of bots is four times higher.
To prove his point, Musk has now started a poll among his over 93 million followers.
“Twitter claims that >95% of daily active users are real, unique humans. Does anyone have that experience?” he posted.

If Twitter lied about how many actual users they have to the SEC, we’re looking at a company that has perpetuated fraud on its shareholders and advertisers. Big trouble for the Twitter commies.”
