Tesla CEO Elon Musk has filed a counterclaim against Twitter, which really wants the billionaire to buy it, CNBC reports. Musk's lawyers, at his request, keep the details secret, but we will find out soon anyway - according to the rules of the court, this information will be made public after a certain time.
The 164-page document was filed just a few hours after the court decided on the date of the meeting on the burning issue of buying Twitter, which Musk postponed for a long time, and then decided not to commit at all. The company was offended that after a long period of courtship, the billionaire simply threw her and demanded that the businessman complete her purchase. Lawyers promise that the edited version of the lawsuit will be available to the public.
Musk and Twitter. A love story
Musk has been rattling the nerves of the most popular social network among cryptans for several months - at the end of April, he signed an agreement to buy Twitter, and a month later suspended the deal to check the company's data on bots. It turned out that the number of fake Twitter accounts is at least 20% of the total number of registered users (according to Musk and those who carried out the verification).
In early July, the head of Tesla terminated the $44 billion deal because the company allegedly failed to fulfill its obligations and violated the merger agreement. So Twitter decided to force the businessman to buy through the court. And they say the court has already sided with the company - according to the judge, prolonged "uncertainty" over the fate of the transaction damages the company.
Experts believe that Musk may lose the trial. And there is a rather high probability of enforcement of the concluded takeover agreement. There is another likely outcome of the court hearing - Twitter will receive a penalty for refusing a deal in the amount of up to $ 1 billion and settle down.
