Elon Musk Claims Twitter Legal Team Told Him He Violated NDA

Elon Musk may be in some legal trouble and not take over Twitter soon. The Tesla CEO tweeted that Twitter’s legal team called him to complain about violating a non-disclosure agreement. 

CNN has the now-deleted tweets, “Twitter (TWTR) legal just called to complain that I violated their NDA by revealing the bot check sample size is 100!” tweeted Musk, chief executive of electric car maker Tesla (TSLA).” 

On Friday, Musk tweeted that his $44 billion deal was “temporarily on hold” while he awaited the results of the fake/spam accounts. In the meantime, he says that Twitter was randomly sampling 100 followers to figure out the bots. 

CNN reports, “When a user asked Musk to ‘elaborate on process of filtering bot accounts,’ he replied: ‘I picked 100 as the sample size number because that is what Twitter uses to calculate <5% fake/spam/duplicate.'” 

His tweets are most likely what set Twitter’s legal team to investigate and reveal that he went against an NDA.
