The news of Tesla CEO Elon Musk buying Twitter was one of the biggest announcements in the tech industry. However, Musk later pulled out of the USD 44 billion Twitter deal leading to a rift between him and the micro-blogging platform. Musk has even been sued by Twitter for breaking the deal. And now, according to a new report, Musk has sent a warning message to Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and CFO Ned Segal, saying that the company’s lawyers were trying to cause trouble and they need to stop.

That needs to stop," as quoted in the report by Business Insider Africa. It can be known that the message was sent after the micro-blogging platform asked Musk how he would finance the Twitter deal.

The meme read, “They said I couldn’t buy Twitter, then they wouldn’t disclose BOT info, now they want to force me to buy Twitter in court, now they have to disclose BOT Info in court.”
