“My offer was based on Twitter’s SEC filings being accurate,” Musk tweeted early Tuesday.
He clarified his methodology in subsequent tweets, adding:"Pick any account with a lot of followers," and"Ignore first 1000 followers, then pick every 10th. I'm open to better ideas."
"Any sensible random sampling process is fine. If many people independently get similar results for % of fake/spam/duplicate accounts, that will be telling. I picked 100 as the sample size number, because that is what Twitter uses to calculate <5% fake/spam/duplicate."
