The two sides head to trial on October 17 after Elon Musk sought to abandon his deal to acquire Twitter.
Twitter Inc on Thursday dismissed Elon Musk’s claims in a Delaware court filing that he was hoodwinked into signing the deal to buy the social media company, saying that it was « implausible and contrary to fact. »
Musk made the claims in a countersuit filed under seal last Friday, which was made public on Thursday.
« According to Musk, he — the billionaire founder of multiple companies, advised by Wall Street bankers and lawyers — was hoodwinked by Twitter into signing a $44 billion merger agreement.
