Three takeaways from Twitter's suit against Elon Musk

Here are three notable things from the court papers:

1. Twitter has sought multiple times to put in place a program to pay top employees to stay through the merger, but Musk has not given a needed OK.

“Musk has unreasonably withheld consent to two employee retention programs designed to keep selected top talent during a period of intense uncertainty generated in large part by Musk’s erratic conduct and public disparagement of the company and its personnel,” Twitter said in the suit — a time when employee attrition “has been on the upswing.”

2. Musk brought in former Intel CEO Bob Swan to act as his advisor, only to later push him out, notifying Twitter in a June 23 text message that he had asked Swan “to depart the deal proceedings, as we are not on the same wavelength.”

3. Twitter CFO Ned Segal tried several times to set up a meeting with Musk to discuss the company’s methodology for determining the percentage of fake accounts, but Musk declined a meeting, while still saying Twitter had not provided the info he needed.
