A Twitter Inc shareholder hit Elon Musk with a proposed class action, effectively joining the tech giant's bid to block the world's richest man from backing out of his pledge to pay US$44 billion to acquire the influential social networking platform.
The lawsuit was filed in Delaware Chancery Court—the same forum that's set to hold a fast-tracked trial in October of Twitter's claims against Musk—by an investor who holds 5,500 Twitter shares. In addition to Musk, it names two "corporate acquisition entities" related to the deal as defendants.
On the microblogging platform, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO wrote that "interaction with almost all Twitter accounts seem to be much lower lately".
In a fresh tweet, Elon Musk said: "It sure is hard to find a news source that's accurate, relevant, and not totally depressing!"
"Old-school versions of The Economist and Jon Stewart Daily Show/Colbert Report were great," he added. He further tweeted: "Maybe Twitter can become that (source)".
A follower reacted: "In fact, this is everyone's hope, but Twitter has been making bots". Musk last month slammed a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report that allegedly exposed his alleged affair with Google Co-founder Sergey Brin's wife Nicole Shanahan, which the Tesla CEO has vehemently denied.
