Elon Musk announced on July 8 that he will abandon his tumultuous $44 billion offer to buy Twitter after the company failed to provide enough information about the number of fake accounts. Twitter immediately fired back, saying it would sue the Tesla CEO to uphold the deal.

Twitter shares slid late on July 8 after a Washington Post report that Elon Musk's $44 billion deal to buy the social media giant is in danger.

The world's richest man has previously expressed misgivings and even implied he could walk away from the deal over concerns about what he believes are an abundance of fake accounts.

Elon Musk will address Twitter employees Thursday for the first time since the billionaire and Tesla CEO offered $44 billion to buy the social media platform, the company said yesterday.

Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal announced an all-hands meeting to employees in an email on June 13, saying they'd be able to submit questions in advance, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Twitter plans to offer Elon Musk access to its "firehose" of raw data on hundreds of millions of daily tweets in an effort to push forward the Tesla billionaire's agreed-to $44 billion acquisition of the social media platform, according to multiple news reports.

Twitter can become a paid service for companies and government agencies. Entrepreneur Elon Musk, who bought the company, announced this on his page on the aforementioned social network.

"Twitter will always be free for ordinary users but it is possible to pay a fee for commercial or government users," the publication said.

Elon Musk has sold 4.4 million shares of Tesla stock worth roughly $4 billion, most likely to help fund his purchase of Twitter.

Four days after Twitter permanently suspended Donald Trump's account on January 8, 2021, the then-US president's son pleaded with entrepreneur Elon Musk to employ his "brilliance" to launch a social media platform that "isn't biased" to crush the competition.

The board of Twitter has agreed to sell the social network to billionaire Elon Musk for $44 billion or $54.20 per share, which is nearly 38% above the closing price of Twitter shares on the 1st of April - before Musk revealed that he had bought about a 9 percent stake in social media.
