Twitter updated its 170-page SEC filing on Elon Musk’s takeover. And it all comes down to bots.

The company doesn’t think the spam bot issue will stand in the way of the deal, according to an SEC filing. That’s a bit different from what Musk said yesterday.

• Musk is still worried about spam bots and fake accounts, calling the issue an “unresolved matter” at the Qatar Economic Forum.
• But fake or spam accounts make up just 5% of its monetizable daily active users, Twitter disclosed some time ago.
• Contrary to Musk, Twitter seems to think it’s handing over everything needed to make things right. “Twitter stands behind the accuracy of its public disclosures, including with respect to its estimates of false and spam accounts,” the filing reads.

There’s still some concern over those public records that Twitter says it’s disclosing. The filing also cites a complaint from earlier this month that asks for books and records on whether Twitter’s public information on daily active users is entirely accurate.

• The filing didn’t say who filed the complaint. But if it’s about information on daily active users (which would lead us to bots), it’s hard to imagine it would be anyone other than Musk. I asked Twitter who filed it, but it hasn’t gotten back to me.
• For what it’s worth, Twitter disputed the allegations.

Twitter made it clear that it’s giving Musk all the information he needs on false and spam accounts to get the deal over with. Now all shareholders have to do is say “yes.”
