Even before buying social media giant Twitter, American billionaire Elon Musk has declared a war on spam bots.
The Tesla chief went on to say that if his bid to buy Twitter succeeds then he will authenticate all real humans on the platform. Musk took to his Twitter account to announce his plans to eliminate spam bots from the microblogging site.
“If our twitter bid succeeds, we will defeat the spam bots or die trying,” read Musk’s tweet. In another tweet on the thread, he added “ And authenticate all real humans.”
If our twitter bid succeeds, we will defeat the spam bots or die trying!

This is not the first time that the billionaire has expressed his displeasure with bots. Earlier too, Musk had expressed his concerns over crypto bots that were publishing scam posts on Twitter to swindle investors.
At a recent Ted Talk, Musk said that if he had a Dogecoin for every crypto scam he saw on Twitter then he would have 100 billion Dogecoin. “A top priority I would have is eliminating the spam and scam bots and the bot armies that are on Twitter,” the SpaceX chief said on the same talk show.
