Elon Musk Hits Twitter with Countersuit Over Fizzled Buyout

Elon Musk dropped a countersuit on Twitter Inc. on Friday, continuing his bid to bail out of his previous $44 billion agreement to buy the social media company.

Quoting businessman Warren Buffett, the suit read, “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked,” in support of Musk’s claims that the deal fizzled over the undisclosed bot account numbers, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The 164-page document was filed in Delaware’s Court of Chancery shortly before it was due at 5 p.m, The New York Post reported.
