Why It Matters
Twitter said it had 229 million mDAUs, which is a year-over-year increase of 15.9 percent.“After we determine an account is spam, malicious automation, or fake, we stop counting it in our mDAU, or other related metrics,” said on Monday.
Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk is all set to take private in a $44 billion deal.
