“Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) believes that it already adequately discloses the methodology that it uses in calculating these figures,” the company said in a letter dated June 22 to the regulator, according to its filing on Wednesday.

Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for additional comment.

This comes ahead of a highly watched legal showdown between Twitter and Elon Musk who wants to back out of his deal to buy the company for $44 billion, arguing Twitter misled the billionaire about the number of bot and spam accounts on its platform.
