Elon Musk and Parag Agrawal is on Fire on Twitter Now
Parag Agrawal posted another massive thread on his profile and it talked about spam and bots on Twitter, something that would give the public context.
First, Agrawal said that spam harms the experience of the public that utilizes social media in its presence. Next, the CEO discussed that spam content is sophisticated technology and is hard to catch.
Lastly, he said that fighting spam is "incredibly dynamic," and would need several tactics to fight it.
First, let me state the obvious: spam harms the experience for real people on Twitter, and therefore can harm our business. As such, we are strongly incentivized to detect and remove as much spam as we possibly can, every single day. Anyone who suggests otherwise is just wrong.

The CEO then talked about the many actions that Twitter does against it and also explains what happens to the public's data. After the thread, Elon Musk replies to it with a "poop" emoji.

Musk Wants Answers from CEO about Advertising
Agrawal mentioned that the company cannot tell the exact mDAU (monetizable daily active users) for all influencers and content creators that utilize the platform for advertising.
Here, Musk questions the CEO, talking about how advertisers would know how much money they make as it is an important factor for them.
So how do advertisers know what they’re getting for their money? This is fundamental to the financial health of Twitter.

Elon Musk, Parag Agrawal, and Twitter
Many questionable happenings are taking place on Twitter now, and one of them is the sale of the company to Elon Musk and making it private after so long in the public setting. Presently, the company did not yet fully explain why it agreed to sell the company to Musk and immediately decided to go private, as initially, investors are against the deal.
Some other questionable things include Musk's decision to allow Donald Trump back on the platform after getting a ban on social media, while Mike Lindell, MyPillow's CEO gets kicked out of it.
On the other hand, Twitter's Parag Agrawal began to fire top executives on the platform like Kayvon Beykpour and Bruce Falk, who are known for their massive roles.
Not to mention a separate announcement by Musk that he will bring Twitter back to the public landscape after three years.
The platform is facing a lot of happenings right now, and the fact that Musk is taking over social media and making it private already overwhelmed users, employees, and the public. People have already look into leaving Twitter in the past weeks as well. Now, they are hashing out their differences and the executives are using the platform to showcase it.
