5:02 am
fake accounts. >> with kron 4, sarah stinson standing by live in the city to explain. good morning, sarah. >> there's never a dull moment with this twitter deal. los appears like elon musk is backing out of his 44 billion dollar buyout of twitter and why take a look at what he tweeted this morning and it was at 3.30, this morning, very early tweet. he said twitter deal temporarily on hold pending detail supporting such calculation that spam slash fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users. now, musk has previously tweeted that he wants to move spam bots from twitter as he would own. and 2, that would be one of his goals. but would that be enough to really just kind of curb this deal? the announcement from the tesla billionaire on twitter is another twist in the internal turmoil that has been caused by his plan to buy out twitter. 2 of the social media's top managers got fired yesterday. twitter stock has been plummeting and it
5:03 am
plummeted 18% since this morning's announcement. while tesla stock has jumped 5% which month, musk has said that he propose using that money to help fund the twitter deal. it's not clear whether the fake account issue could really ruin this twitter deal. but twitter said yesterday that the company is pausing most hiring except for business critical roles. attributing that to cutting down on labor costs to ensure that they're more efficient and even a memo went out to employees in the company has not hit growth in revenue milestones after the company begin to invest aggressively to expand its user base and revenue. now the future of must deal remains on. hold this morning. twitter has not commented on this. i'm sure twitter's board. is i don't know they're confused by it. i don't know if they're surprised by it or what, but we are certainly surprised by it. and it's been, you know, a lot with this deal. but darya james will continue to follow it right here from san francisco, home base of twitter. it's going to be
