Since the start of the deal, Musk has asked about the bots issue on the platform. Twitter said there are only 5% bots on the platform. Musk refuses to believe so.

Palmer posted the interview with Crikey on Monday via Twitter responding to a Wired story that said Twitter has shambled. After Musk announced the termination of the deal. Earlier, Insider’s Kali Hays reported that some employees were considering departing after Musk took the offer to buy the social media giant.
In May, Palmer told Crikey that Musk is inciting a great amount of discord and distrust on the platform. In addition, he said that Musk planned to destroy all trust.
