In recent weeks, the Tesla CEO has claimed that the platform's bot population is substantially larger than the company's current leadership claims.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating Twitter for "potentially deceptive" claims regarding bots and fake accounts. Paxton said Monday that inauthentic accounts may be contributing to Twitter's "inflation of value" under the state's Deceptive Trade Practices Act, which protects corporations and consumers.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, is apparently trying to sink his own bid to purchase Twitter, while Paxton's office is pursuing the subject. In recent weeks, the Tesla CEO has claimed that the platform's bot population is substantially larger than the company's current leadership claims.

The Attorney General has taken action against various internet corporations, including Google and Meta. Paxton hasn't announced if he intends to sue Twitter.

Musk and Paxton synchronizing their ambitions at the proper time is fascinating. Tesla has constructed a Gigafactory in Texas and is shifting its headquarters there. The state has also offered tax breaks to businesses planning new facilities in the region. Paxton was accused of abuse of authority for bribery, but his own office exonerated him.

A federal judge in California ordered Twitter to release unredacted user numbers, the number of "inauthentic" accounts, and the methodology used to calculate the proportion of fake accounts. It must also explain its advertising approach and how much it makes in Texas.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's aims to enhance free speech on Twitter coincide with the Republic's attempts to reverse the perceived limitation of conservative beliefs on the network. A lawsuit filed by Twitter against Paxton for claimed political retribution, which violates the firm's First Amendment rights, indicates that the corporation has long rejected claims of ideological discrimination.

Paxton has repeated Musk's unproven assertion that 20% or more of Twitter accounts are fake, which the company previously said was 5% of its users.
