Musk was clearly unimpressed as Parag Agrawal hit back at the billionaire about the handling of bots on Twitter. Agrawal tweeted that spam “harms the experience for real people on Twitter” and that the company is “strongly incentivized to detect and remove as much spam as we possibly can, every single day.”

“Anyone who suggests otherwise is just wrong,” Agrawal tweeted.

In a quick and expressive response Musk the largest shareholder in Twitter sent back a poop emoji and followed it up with a question on how advertisers know they are getting their money's worth? 

Elon Musk who is looking to take over Twitter has vowed to put an end to the 'bot army' on the platform. Twitter has previously estimated that spam and fake accounts make up less than 5% of users on the platform.
