Tesla CEO Elon Musk has appeared to score a victory in his impasse with Twitter over repeated requests for its internal data on spam and fake accounts.

特斯拉首席执行官伊隆·马斯克似乎在与推特的僵局中取得了胜利,他多次要求提供关于垃圾邮件和虚假账户的内部数据。

The social media giant has agreed to hand over a “firehose” of data comprising more than 500 million tweets posted each day, according to The Washington Post, citing an anonymous source familiar with the company's thinking. The outlet notes that the data, which reportedly includes account information, a real-time record of tweets and the devices users tweet from, could be given to Musk as soon as this week. Currently, about two dozen companies pay to access the data, according to the Post.

据《华盛顿邮报》援引一位熟悉这家社交媒体巨头想法的匿名消息人士的话称,该公司已同意交出包含每天5亿多条推文的庞大数据流。该媒体指出,这些数据包括账户信息、用户推文的实时记录和用户发推文的设备,最早可能于本周交给马斯克。据《华盛顿邮报》报道,目前约有20多家公司为获取这些数据而付费。

Last month, Musk said his $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter would be temporarily put on hold as he awaited details supporting Twitter's internal estimate that spam and fake accounts make up less than 5% of the platform's users. In response, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal said an external review to determine the percentage would be difficult given the “critical need to use both public and private information.”

上个月,马斯克表示,他以440亿美元收购推特的交易将暂时搁置,因为他在等待支持推特内部估计的细节,该评估认为垃圾邮件和虚假账户占该平台用户的不到5%。作为回应,推特首席执行官表示,鉴于“迫切需要同时使用公共和私人信息”,通过外部审查来确定这个百分比将会很困难。

In the first quarter of 2022, Twitter's monetizable daily active user (mDAU) base grew 15.9% year over year to 229 million, including 39.6 million daily active users in the U.S. and 189.4 million international daily active users.

2022年第一季度,推特的盈利日活跃用户(mDAU)同比增长15.9%,达到2.29亿,其中包括美国3,960万日活跃用户和1.894亿国际日活跃用户。

The billionaire, who believes at least 20% of Twitter users are spam or fake accounts, has said his team would conduct its own random sampling to calculate the total percentage. He has also expressed a willingness to renegotiate the deal for a lower price proportionate to the total percentage.

这位亿万富翁认为,至少有20%的推特用户是垃圾邮件或虚假账户。他表示,他的团队将进行自己的随机抽样来计算总百分比。他还表示愿意重新谈判,以获得与总百分比成比例的较低价格。

On Monday, Musk threatened to walk away from the deal after accusing the company of breaching its obligations under the merger agreement.

周一,马斯克在指责该公司违反了合并协议中规定的义务后,曾威胁要退出该交易。

“At this point, Mr. Musk believes Twitter is transparently refusing to comply with its obligations under the merger agreement, which is causing further suspicion that the company is withholding the requested data due to concern for what Mr. Musk’s own analysis of that data will uncover,” attorneys for Musk wrote in a letter filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. “If Twitter is confident in its publicized spam estimates, Mr. Musk does not understand the company’s reluctance to allow Mr. Musk to independently evaluate those estimates.”

“在这一点上,马斯克先生认为推特显然拒绝遵守其合并协议中规定的义务,这进一步引起了人们的怀疑,即该公司隐瞒了所要求的数据,因为担心马斯克自己对这些数据的分析会发现什么,”马斯克的律师在提交给美国证券交易委员会的信中写道。“如果推特对其公布的垃圾邮件估计值有信心,那么马斯克先生就不理解该公司为何不愿让马斯克独立评估这些估计值。”

The deal, which recently cleared antitrust review in the U.S., would take Twitter private at $54.20 per share. It is expected to close in 2022, subject to shareholder and receipt of remaining applicable regulatory approvals.

这笔交易最近通过了美国的反垄断审查,将以每股54.20美元的价格私有化。该交易预计将于2022年完成,但须视股东及收到剩余适用的监管批准而定。

Musk has pledged a total of $33.5 billion in equity to help finance the transaction. He is also in talks with Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey about additional financing.

马斯克已承诺提供总计335亿美元的股权,以帮助为这笔交易融资。他还在与推特联合创始人、前首席执行官Jack Dorsey就额外融资问题进行谈判。
