On April 25, 2022, Twitter announced that it had agreed to sell itself to Elon Musk for $54.20 per share, or approximately $44 billion (the "Buyout").
Then, On May 13, 2022, Elon Musk issued misleading tweets claiming that the Buyout was "temporarily on hold." On May 17, 2022, Musk issued another tweet stating that the Buyout "cannot go forward" until Twitter showed him proof of the number of "fake accounts" on its platform. Thereafter, between July 8, 2022 and September 9, 2022, Musk issued three separate notices purporting to terminate the Buyout.
Then, on October 4, 2022, less than two weeks before Musk was set to go to trial in Delaware over the merger, Musk issued a statement indicating he would proceed with the purchase of Twitter at the original purchase price of $54.20 per share. Following Musk's announcement, the price of Twitter stock increased by 22% in one day. However, Twitter stockholders—who sold their Twitter stock based on Musk's statements purporting to terminate the Buyout—were damaged by selling Twitter stock at prices artificially depressed by Musk's conduct.
