Elon Musk finds another reason to scrap $44 billion Twitter deal

Billionaire Elon Musk said on Friday that Twitter’s decision to pay millions of dollars to a whistleblower it had fired provides him with further rationale for cancelling the agreement to buy the microblogging behemoth, amid the ongoing legal dispute over the $44 million deal.

Musk made his comments after learning that Twitter had decided to pay the whistleblower $7 million “to settle a dispute.”
