Why Did Musk Change His Twitter Username?
Musk revamped his Twitter profile right after Twitter shareholders voted to approve his $44 billion buyout deal. The vote came as his legal team is in court, fighting to bail him out of the deal.
Twitter has sued Musk for breaching their deal agreement to buy the company. On Wednesday, a US judge allowed him to amend his complaint against the tech company.
However, his request to delay the lawsuit till December was rejected over the disintegration of the deal. Musk’s attorneys had requested to amend his counterclaims after Twitter whistleblower Peiter Zatko filed a complaint about Twitter’s security practices.
Musk had earlier backed out of the deal to buy Twitter over a lack of transparency in the company regarding bot accounts and fake information.
