Poops, sorry! Twitter uses Elon Musk's poop emoji as evidence against him

The legal fight between social media giant Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has taken an interesting turn. Both are in a legal fight over the acquisition of Twitter. Now, as per report by Fox Business, Twitter has used a poop emoji posted by Elon Musk as an evidence against him in the lawsuit. Twitter alleges in its lawsuit that Musk tried to disparage him. The poop emoji in question was posted by Elon Musk as a reply to Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal's tweet on May 16.

“We suspend over half a million spam accounts every day, usually before any of you even see them on Twitter. We also lock millions of accounts each week that we suspect may be spam – if they can’t pass human verification challenges (captchas, phone verification, etc),” he tweeted.

"The hard challenge is that many accounts which look fake superficially – are actually real people. And some of the spam accounts which are actually the most dangerous – and cause the most harm to our users – can look totally legitimate on the surface," he added.
