Musk announced his intention to buy Twitter earlier this year - however, in July, his legal team filed a notice to terminate the deal, citing a violation of contractual obligations by the tech company. According to the billionaire, Twitter failed to account for the true number of spam accounts on the platform.
Twitter sued Musk to make him proceed with the deal, while the businessman countersued, with another note following in august, citing serious security flaws of the platform as an additional argument.
