Musk refers to an article which claims that false or spam accounts represent fewer than 5% of its monetizable daily active users during the first quarter.
In his Tweet, he suddenly wants to know whether spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users.
Aren't these concepts (percentage of users and percentage of monetizable daily active users) something totally different?
Maybe this is performance art designed to demonstrate the menace of communication media that require you to strip out crucial qualifiers from your claims in order to fit into an artificial character size limit?
You have 260 characters, and can create threads. I've read plenty of Twitter threads that are at least as persuasively argued as a similarly long blog post.
I'm a lurker on Twitter. I follow people but don't tweet. Do I count as a user? My behavior is probably difficult to discern from a bot (using a third party app).
The bots everyone is concerned about are the ones tweeting, but there are probably all kinds of "legitimate" bots, like the ones that tweet when Apple pushes a software update, or something goes on sale on Steam.
That 5% number may be describing the "legitimate" bots, while what everyone cares about is the illegitimate ones.
