埃隆·马斯克收购推特的计划被暂时搁置，因为这位亿万富翁希望，确保该社交媒体网站上的“垃圾邮件/虚假账户占用户总数不到5%”。

马斯克的推文与路透社的一篇文章一起被分享，该文章透露，一份推特文件称，“垃圾”账户“在第一季度占其可盈利日活跃用户的不到5%”。怎样正如TheVerge所指出的那样，许多人认为这一比例要高得多。

马斯克表示，推迟只是暂时的，他仍“承诺”收购该网站。然而，对“垃圾”账户数量的调查结果可能会对什么产生影响不得而知。

如果只有不到5%的用户确实是“垃圾”账户，那么交易可能会在短暂的延迟后按计划进行。然而，如果这个数字是5%或更高，由于马斯克可能会推动降低购买价格，事情可能会变得很混乱。

把它想象得像买一辆车，如果卖家说它只开了3万英里（48280公里），但看起来像是进过地狱般的，你可能想在交易之前认真检查一下。马斯克在推特上也在做同样的事情。

不管接下来会发生什么，华尔街似乎开始紧张了，推特的股价从昨天的45.09美元跌到40.40美元。这远低于马斯克对每股54.20美元的预期收购价。

仍致力于收购

Musk’s Twitter Deal On Hold, Wants To Ensure Junk Accounts Are Less Than 5% Of User Base

BY MICHAEL GAUTHIER | POSTED ONMAY 13, 2022

Elon Musk’s plan to buy Twitter is on hold as the billionaire wants to ensure that “spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users” on the social media site.

Musk’s tweet was shared alongside a Reuter’s article that revealed a Twitter filing said ‘junk’ accounts represented “fewer than 5% of its monetizable daily active users during the first quarter.” However, as The Verge noted, many people believe the percentage is much higher.

Musk said the delay is only temporary and he is still “committed” to acquiring the site. However, the results of the investigation into the number of ‘junk’ accounts will likely have an impact on what happens next.

If less than 5% of users are indeed ‘junk’ accounts, the deal would presumably proceed as planned after a short delay. However, if that number is 5% or higher, things could get messy as Musk could push for a lower purchase price.

Think of it like buying a car, if the seller says it’s only been driven 30,000 miles (48,280 km) but it looks like it’s been to hell and back, you’d probably want to check things over before pulling the trigger. Musk is essentially doing the same thing with Twitter.

Regardless of what happens next, Wall Street appears to be getting nervous as Twitter’s stock price fell from $45.09 (£36.85 / €43.36) yesterday to $40.40 (£33.02 / €38.85) this morning after Musk’s tweet. That’s far below Musk’s intended purchase price of $54.20 (£44.30 / €52.12) per share.

Still committed to acquisition
