Twitter responds to Elon Musk’s claims, calls them ‘excuses’


In a reply filed Aug 4 in Delaware Chancery Court, Twitter calls Musk’s reasoning ‘a story, imagined in an effort to escape a merger agreement that Musk no longer found attractive’. — AFP

SAN FRANCISCO: Twitter denied in a court filing that it had deprived its would-be acquirer, billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, of necessary information or misrepresented details about its business.

Musk originally made those charges to justify his attempt to back out of a US$44bil (RM196.02bil) deal to buy the social platform, which he later claimed was infested with much larger numbers of “spam bots” and fake accounts than Twitter had disclosed.
