Twitter sues to force Elon Musk to complete his $44B acquisition

SAN FRANCISCO -- Twitter said Tuesday it has sued Elon Musk to force him to complete the $44 billion acquisition of the social media company.

Musk and Twitter have been bracing for a legal fight since the billionaire said Friday he was backing off of his April agreement to buy the company. The chair of Twitter's board, Bret Taylor, tweeted Tuesday that the board has filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery"to hold Elon Musk accountable to his contractual obligations."

Twitter's lawsuit opens with a sharply-worded accusation that"Musk refuses to honor his obligations to Twitter and its stockholders because the deal he signed no longer serves his personal interests." "Having mounted a public spectacle to put Twitter in play, and having proposed and then signed a seller-friendly merger agreement, Musk apparently believes that he - unlike every other party subject to Delaware contract law - is free to change his mind, trash the company, disrupt its operations, destroy stockholder value, and walk away," the suit says.

But Twitter, we don’t want him to buy you.

Elon won’t ever own Twitter. They’ll do a buyout and move on but it’s not going to be cheap.

Short of cash? Get plugged in for a 30year loan.

Right… Wait til discovery kicks in and Twitter has to reveal how many bots it actually has.

Noel Skum disagrees

I still have hope of getting verified on here so unfortunately I can’t comment at this time. 🤐

Poll: Is Elon Musk a mess?

Hahaha. Elon musk has an infinite amount of resources to bury twitter in court. Short of twitter being able to prove they didn’t slack with providing him ALL the bot info he requested, they don’t stand a chance. Twitter is devalued and all those execs lost millions of $$$ 😂😂😂

Musk played them like a fiddle!
