ELON Musk has cast further doubt on his $44billion deal to buy Twitter due to questions over how many of its users are spambots.
In a tweet on Tuesday, the billionaire said the deal "cannot move forward" until CEO Parag Agrawal provides evidence that fewer than five per cent of accounts are fake.
Musk, 50, wants more information about the real number of phoney accounts on the platform before snapping it up.
It follows Musk's revelation last week that his purchase of Twitter is "temporarily on hold" as a result of the same issue.
He later clarified that he is "still committed to acquisition".
Further signs that the world's richest man is feeling buyer's remorse came in the form of his Tuesday tweet.
"Yesterday, Twitter’s CEO publicly refused to show proof of <5%," Musk tweeted.
"This deal cannot move forward until he does."
