Elon Musk claims lawyers overbilled in fight to make him buy Twitter


The lawsuit is something of a role reversal for Musk, who is a defendant in numerous suits alleging that Twitter under his leadership allowed millions in unpaid expenses to pile up from former employees, vendors and landlords while purportedly trying to keep the company financially solvent. — Reuters

Elon Musk sued the law firm that led the court fight to make him complete his takeover of Twitter, saying it took advantage of the company while running up a US$90mil bill.

Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz, among the most profitable firms in the US, exploited a brief, vulnerable period just as Musk was closing the US$44bil deal, according to a complaint filed in San Francisco state court by Musk’s X Corp, now the parent of Twitter.
