It was not the first time the US billionaire has expressed his displeasure with bots. At a recent Ted Talk, he voiced his concerns over crypto bots making scam posts on the microblogging site to swindle investors.
He said: “If I had a Dogecoin for every crypto scam I saw on Twitter then I would have 100 billion Dogecoin. A top priority I would have is eliminating the spam and scam bots and the bot armies that are on Twitter."
According to a US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, Musk has managed to secure
$ 46.5 billion to leverage his Twitter acquisition.
Last week, Musk offered other investors in the microblogging site $54.20 per share for their stakes, totalling about $43 billion, and take the company private.
Musk already owns over 9 per cent of Twitter shares. He was offered a seat on the board — which would have limited his shareholding to 14.9 per cent under company rules — but declined.
