Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk signaled that his $44 billion deal to purchase Twitter might ultimately go through if the social media firm would provide him with data on user accounts and bots.

“If Twitter simply provides their method of sampling 100 accounts and how they’re confirmed to be real, the deal should proceed on original terms,” Musk wrote on Aug. 6 in response to a Twitter user’s comment. “However, if it turns out that their SEC filings are materially false, then it should not.”
