Musk is fighting a legal battle with Twitter over his $44 billion deal. In the Elon Musk vs Twitter buyout battle, Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick of the Delaware Court of Chancery ordered a five-day trial beginning October 17 to determine whether Musk can complete his $44 billion deal. Twitter also wanted a commitment from Musk to complete the trial in five days. Subsequently, Musk filed a countersuit against Twitter. Musk reportedly said that he wanted more time to complete an investigation of Twitter's misrepresentation of fake accounts. Musk’s legal team told the Delaware Chancery Court that Musk wanted correct details about spam accounts on Twitter. 

He made a hostile bid to take over Twitter for $44 billion. However, he backed away from the deal and blamed Twitter for breaching the agreement by misrepresenting the number of fake accounts on the social media platform. Later on, Twitter said that Musk’s skepticism over spam accounts was a distraction to walk away from the deal.
