Musk had shared a video of him entering the Twitter headquarters immediately after completing his takeover deal. In the video, he was seen carrying a sink. Sharing the video, the maverick businessman had written, “Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in!”
In a subsequent tweet, Musk had written, “Meeting a lot of cool people at Twitter today!”
Musk had first agreed to buy Twitter but later reneged on his commitment saying that the microblogging site had not revealed the true extent of its fake accounts. Twitter board then decided to take legal action against him, forcing him to change his mind again and sign the deal.
