Elon Musk accuses Twitter of fraud in buyout deal

Elon Musk has accused Twitter of fraud, alleging the social media platform misled him about key aspects of its business before he agreed to a $44 billion buyout, court records show.

In a response to Twitter’s lawsuit seeking to hold him to the contract, Musk filed a suit of his own accusing the firm of breaching their contract due to fraud about fake or spam accounts.
