Twitter Slams Musk Merger Withdrawal

Twitter demanded Monday that Elon Musk complete a proposed $44 takeover of the social media company, slamming the Tesla chief's withdrawal of his offer as "invalid and wrongful."

"Twitter has breached none of its obligations under the Agreement," attorneys for Twitter said in a letter to Musk's lawyers that was included in a securities filing late Monday.

"Twitter demands that Mr. Musk and the other Musk Parties comply with their obligations under the Agreement, including their obligations to use their respective reasonable best efforts to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the Agreement."

On the other hand, Musk sought to back out of the $44 billion deal to buy Twitter, a decision at which Twitter Inc fired back, claiming Musk "knowingly" breached the agreement to purchase the social media firm.

In the meanwhile, Musk took to Twitter to diss Twitter. In true Musk fashion, the Tesla boss shared a meme that made no secret of what he thinks of the tiff.
