[Must Read]MUST READ [Twitter threatens to sue after Musk pulls out of $44 billion deal]( [Twitter]( Ah! The Twitter/Elon Musk drama. It never seems to end. Let's recap shall we? In April, Twitter officially accepted Musk's offer to buy the social media giant for roughly $44 billion, at a $54.20-per-share exchange. The decision came on the heels of a quick meeting of Twitter's board to discuss Musk's latest offer which was significantly higher than his "best and final" offer of $43 billion. Then, in May of 2022, Musk put the deal on hold mostly due to the overwhelming presence of bots on the platform. Breaching multiple provisions. Now, Twitter [is saying]( that if the billionaire backs out on his deal, the firm will sue. This decision comes after news surfaced that Musk was terminating the deal because the social media company had breached multiple provisions of the merger agreement. When Musk and Twitter first signed the acquisition deal, both agreed to pay a $1 billion termination fee in the event that either backed out for whatever reasons. Will Musk's claims stand in court or will Twitter have the upper hand? One thing is for sure. Once this ordeal reaches the courts, it is bound to get messy.
