A few weeks ago, Elon signed a deal to buy Twitter for 4.4 billion. However, he threatened to cancel the deal this week. The billionaire complained that his search was being hampered to find out the exact number of Twitter users.

In a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the US stock market regulator, Elon claims he has the full right to independently count the exact number of spam or bot accounts on Twitter. Elon also announced the suspension of the purchase a few weeks ago due to disagreements with Twitter authorities over the exact number of spam and bot accounts.
