Tesla CEO Elon Musk has filed a counterclaim against Twitter after the social media company sued the billionaire for walking away from their $44 billion purchase deal.
Musk’s counterclaims are an abrupt escalation in the legal battle between the big tech company and the richest man in the world, where Twitter is suing Musk to complete the acquisition deal he entered into with Twitter on April 25. Musk’s lawyers alleged that Twitter did not provide the bot user data that the billionaire sought when Musk backed away from the deal on July 8. Twitter sued days later, rejecting Musk’s assertion and seeking to complete the deal.
