Elon Musk wants to defeat spam bots on Twitter but it will not be easy

India Today  

Elon Musk has a grand plan for Twitter and he is not shying away from revealing them to sweeten his bid for a $43 billion takeover of the company. Musk said he wants to remove nasty bots from Twitter and authenticate “all real humans” — a move he believes will help propagate free speech on the microblogging platform. “If our twitter bid succeeds, we will defeat the spam bots or die trying!” tweeted Musk. The bottom line is that bots are still necessary for the platform as they help the company increase its number of active users — something even Musk would probably want if he became the private owner of Twitter. Joining Twitter’s board evidently is a far more important step than eradicating spam bots from the platform and Musk’s attitude has been everything but consistent.
