It turns out that Twitter is making adjustments by providing Elon Musk with all real-time tweet data called 'fire hose'.

There is concern that the acquisition negotiations will fail behind Twitter's decision to provide data to Mr. Musk. In April 2022, Mr. Musk was eager to eliminate bots by raising funds for the acquisition of Twitter and saying , 'If the acquisition is successful, we will eliminate spambots.'
However, despite the findings on Twitter that 10% of active accounts post spam content and reports that about 20% of accounts are spam or fake accounts, the company is consistent. And claims that 'bots are less than 5%'. In response, Mr. Musk said, 'We cannot move forward with the acquisition of Twitter until the bot proves to be less than 5%.'
