Elon Musk stoked speculation that he could seek to renegotiate his takeover of Twitter Inc., saying a viable deal at a lower price wouldn’t be “out of the question.”Twitter shares briefly pared losses in afternoon trading. The stock has been dropping on concern that Musk could walk away from the $44 billion acquisition altogether. That concern has grown over the past week as Musk has questioned Twitter’s publicly disclosed data on the percentage of spam and fake accounts on its social-media service.Musk pressed further on that front Monday at a Miami tech conference, estimating that fake users make up at least 20% of all Twitter Inc. accounts. That was his low end of his estimate on the number of Twitter bots, and he asked rhetorically if the number could be as high as 90%, according to a livestreamed video of his remarks posted by a Twitter user.
