Elon Musk Promises to ‘Defeat the Spam Bots or Die Trying’ if Twitter Bid is Successful ‘And Authenticate All Real Humans’

Elon Musk made a promise today that if the Twitter bid is successful, he will “defeat the spam bots or die trying.”

While it is unlikely that Musk will sacrifice himself in order to “defeat the spam bots,” it still shows the level of commitment that he has towards the situation.

Musk declared in the tweet, “If our twitter bid succeeds, we will defeat the spam bots or die trying!”

In a follow-up reply, Musk also vowed, “And authenticate all real humans.”

Earlier this month, Musk called the crypto spam bots the “single most annoying problem on twitter” in response to a tweet.

Twitter user “Pranay Prathole” urged Musk at the time, “Elon, you need to do something about these Crypto spam bots. They’re getting really annoying.”

“Improving the verification system to prove that you’re an actual *real* human would help with this,” the Twitter user with 129k followers added.

“Yeah, single most annoying problem on twitter imo,” Musk replied.
