Twitter filed suit against Musk after the billionaire said he was dropping his $44 billion deal to buy the social media giant due to the company's lack of transparency regarding fake accounts.
In the lawsuit, Twitter said Musk had told company executives early on that he only had three goals when it came to the platform: to "sit on its board, buy it, or build a competitor," Business Insider reported.

"Having mounted a public spectacle to put Twitter in play, and having proposed and then signed a seller-friendly merger agreement, Musk apparently believes that he - unlike every other party subject to Delaware contract law - is free to change his mind, trash the company, disrupt its operations, destroy stockholder value, and walk away," said the lawsuit.

On Friday, Musk said he was terminating the deal because Twitter violated the agreement by failing to respond to requests for information regarding fake or spam accounts on the platforms, which is fundamental to its business performance.
