I think that was a mistake because it alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice,” Musk said at the time. Musk has spent the past few months in a legal battle with Twitter after backing out of plans to acquire the social media platform over claims that Twitter was not doing enough to delete bot accounts on the site. Now, less than two weeks before Musk and Twitter were set to go to trial over the reneged deal, Musk is offering once again to buy the site for $44 billion, the same proposed price initially offered back in April.
“I’m not doing Twitter for the money. It’s not like I’m trying to buy some yacht and I can’t afford it,” Musk told the Financial Times. “I don’t own any boats.

But Twitter says they cannot trust that the billionaire’s offer is in good faith, calling Musk’s offer an “invitation to further mischief and delay” in new court filings on Thursday.“Now, on the eve of trial, [Musk] declares [he] intend[s] to close after all.
