Twitter sued Elon Musk on Tuesday for violating his $44-billion deal to buy the social media platform.

The complaint said, "Musk apparently believes that he -- unlike every other party subject to Delaware contract law
诉状称，“马斯克显然认为，他不像其他所有受特拉华州合同法约束的人那样，
is free to change his mind, trash the company, disrupt its operations, destroy stockholder value, and walk away."

It comes after Musk announced on Friday he was ditching the deal,

accusing Twitter of breaching the agreement by failing to respond to requests for information regarding fake or spam accounts on the platform.

The social media firm also explained it did not share more information with Musk regarding spam accounts for fear he would build a competing platform and abandon the acquisition.

and said his decision to walk away had more to do with the recent decline in the stock market, especially for tech stocks.
