The Tesla chief also said that he wants to make Twitter a balanced and well-moderated platform. The development comes days after Musk had said that one of his priorities would be to remove spam bots from the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter on April 25 accepted Elon Musk&#8217;s $44 billion takeover deal and agreed to sell itself to an entity wholly owned by Musk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The world&#8217;s richest man currently owns a 9.1 per cent stake in Twitter and the platform became the second-biggest shareholder. Previously, the social media company had invited Elon Musk to join its board of directors, however, he declined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Friday, Twitter shares fell 17.7% to $37.10 in premarket trading the lowest level since Musk disclosed his stake in the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/politics\/sonia-gandhi-chintan-shivir\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/politics\/sonia-gandhi-chintan-shivir\/\">Sonia Gandhi says Modi government brutalising minorities, glorifying Gandhiji\u2019s killers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/india-news\/mathura-shahi-eidgah-survey-petition\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/india-news\/mathura-shahi-eidgah-survey-petition\/\">Petition to survey Mathura Shahi Eidgah by the court commissioner accepted, hearing to take place on July 1<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Musk tweeted that Twitter deals are temporarily on hold pending details supporting the calculation that spam\/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5pc of users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":315755,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"#ElonMusk puts #Twitter deal on hold amid concerns of fake or spam accounts","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[1518,125714],"tags":[6881,650,129541,130923],"yst_prominent_words":[13407,9000,3788,20997,89256,89252,3968,44260,89242,89246,5104,88476,4590,4813],"ppma_author":[140543],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/d2r2ijn7njrktv.cloudfront.net\/apnlive\/uploads\/2022\/04\/29112402\/1211442310-1.jpg.0-1.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"authors":[{"term_id":140543,"user_id":4,"is_guest":0,"slug":"apnnewsdesk","display_name":"APN Live","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/478eacb893eda88aa6ed8d99b005bf58?s=96&r=g"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323267"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=323267"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323267\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=323267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=323267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=323267"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=323267"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=323267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<!-- html is corrupted -->
