Musk believes the actual number is a multiple of Twitter’s figure, while Iger puts the figure at “a substantial portion - not a majority,” meaning closer to 50 percent of the platform’s accounts. This is reminiscent of claims made by Tesla CEO Elon Musk who is fighting Twitter in court to back out of a $44 billion deal to purchase the company.Īs Musk moved to buy Twitter, the company made the absurd claim that only five percent of accounts on the platform are bots. Actually, the deal that we had was pretty cheap. I don’t remember the number but we discounted the value heavily. Interestingly enough, because I read the news these days, we did look very carefully at all of the Twitter users - I guess they’re called users? - and we at that point estimated with some of Twitter’s help that a substantial portion - not a majority - were not real. ![]() But it would come with so many other challenges and complexities that as a manager of a great global brand, I was not prepared to take on a major distraction and having to manage circumstances that weren’t even close to anything that we had faced before. Then, after we sold the whole concept to the Disney board and the Twitter board, and we’re really ready to execute - the negotiation was just about done - I went home, contemplated it for a weekend, and thought, ‘I’m not looking at this as carefully as I need to look at it.’ Yes, it’s a great solution from a distribution perspective. Now, speaking at Vox Media’s annual Code Conference in Beverly Hills, California, Iger said that Twitter would have been a “phenomenal” distribution platform for Disney but that it would have also come with too many issues - including bots. However, the supposed “nastiness” of Twitter should have been readily apparent well before a deal was almost finalized to purchase the platform. In a 2019 memoir, Iger said that the boards of both Disney and Twitter had agreed to the deal, but then he had second thoughts due to the “nastiness” across Twitter.
