<blockquote><em>"Musk refuses to honor his obligations to Twitter and its stockholders because the deal he signed no longer serves his personal interests,"</em> the company said in the lawsuit.

<em>"Musk apparently believes that he - unlike every other party subject to Delaware contract law is free to change his mind, trash the company, disrupt its operations, destroy stockholder value, and walk away,"</em> the lawsuit added.</blockquote>

The lawsuit comes after Musk announced he was walking away from his proposed $44 billion takeover of Twitter on Friday. He claimed that the social media site had not given information about the number of fake and spam accounts on the platform.

Musk claimed that lack of information about spam accounts and inaccurate representations amounted to a "material adverse event." He also said that the social media platform sacking executives meant it was not living up to its obligations.

Minutes after news surfaced online that Twitter has sued him, Musk took to the microblogging site and just simply tweeted,
<blockquote><em>"Oh the irony lol."</em></blockquote>
