Musk tries to claw back $90M from firm that forced him to complete Twitter deal.

“We’ve decided to expand our policy of not paying bills. We’re now retroactively un-paying bills we’ve already paid.”
I mean, they’re just lawyers. What are they going to do?
“What’re you going to do? Sue me?”
Quite the greedy move.
Twitter’s $84 million wire to Wachtell was posted only ten minutes before Gadde and Edgett were terminated upon the closing of the merger.
By no means am I defending Musk, but if this is true it’s a dick move for sure. Yet I believe Twitter was well within their rights to pay the firm their sum despite the looming merger.
I guess we’ll have to see how it pans out, yet to Musk you’d think $90 million is mere pocket change. He must really feel the pressure on finding some hope of any return on the $44 billion he paid for his pet-project.
That’s like, less than 1 of the 44 billion he paid to buy Twitter. I’m surprised he even notices it.
It’s 0.2% of $44 billion. I think he notices it because Twitter is hemorrhaging money right now; totally due to his mismanagement.
Twitter was hemorrhaging money most of the time before his purchase anyway. There may have been a year or two that they were profitable but it was more typically losing hundreds of millions of dollars every year. That said, I’m sure his management has accelerated losses. And honestly the leveraged buyout to take it over pretty much ensures the company is on a fast track to bankruptcy.
True, however from what I’ve read, they’ve lost a lot of ad revenue since Musk took over. Estimates say over 50% lost ad revenue in the U.S., almost 30% worldwide.
Suing lawyers over costs is very, very, common. It’s not even newsworthy.
Suing your own lawyers for billing you. Wild. This HAS to be the stupidest thing he’s ever done.
