Twitter calls Elon Musk’s bots complaints ‘irrelevant sideshow’


Musk was fully aware of the bot issue when he signed the deal to buy the company, Twitter’s lawyers said in a filing on July 18. — AFP

Twitter Inc dismissed Elon Musk’s complaints that he doesn’t have enough information about spam and robot accounts an “irrelevant sideshow” and urged a judge to hold a trial as soon as possible over his cancellation of a US$44bil (RM196.15bil) buyout of the company.

“The earliest possible trial date is imperative,” Twitter’s attorneys said in the nine-page filing Monday, responding to Musk’s request for a delay. “This very public dispute harms Twitter with each passing day.”
