firing senior employeesMr Musk's lawyers wrote to Twitter's chief legal officer saying Mr Musk believed the company was "actively resisting and thwarting" his rights to access data and information.“Twitter’s latest offer to simply provide additional details regarding the company’s own testing methodologies, whether through written materials or verbal explanations, is tantamount to refusing Mr Musk’s data requests,” the letter read.

Lol , he's not paying a cent

Either way , he will end up on top. He will either get twitter and turn it into something or he will go off and make something...twitter mrk2 ( space version) ... himself.

I was under the impression musk is taking it to court to force twitter to make public it's number of bots, which everyone in this thread knows is a serious problem.

Journalism at its finest, cant wait for an ' Exclusive ' as to how Elon positions himself on the toilet while taking a dump.. Grubby indeed

The financial regulations do not allow cowboys to rampage through markets at will. Firstly the authorities must impose huge financial penalties on Musk and investors who foolishly bought Twitter shares following Musk need to organise class actions for punitive damages.

A bit of this going on in the replies

Musk is trapped. Literally nothing he can do. The contract is iron clad in favour of Twitter. The presiding judge was a clerk under Twitter's lawyer ( who himself use to be Chancellor of Delaware court). Musk clowned too hard. He f around and found out.

There's no way any court is going to enforce specific performance over this cluster fuck. This is nonsense. Musk and Twitter will spend $10M over the next 10 yrs litigating who writes who a $1B cheque (it's Musk).

Elon may want to buy ABC for $29

And force Twitter to reveal the number of bots in court! 😆 Game set match
