Well, Tesla boss Elon Musk is back in the news. Ok ok, he was never really out of the news. But to keep it real, things on the Musk/Twitter front have settled down, while a volatile Tesla stock price may be finding its footing.
Teslarati reported that Elon Musk is countersuing Twitter. This comes after Twitter is suing Elon Musk, in an attempt to force him to buy them, after they previously seemed to not want him to buy them.
Details of the countersuit are expected next week. The 164 page document has not yet been released to the public. Coincidentally, the Tesla news website we linked is claiming to be “shadow banned” by Twitter. Musk is questioning if there is funny business going on too. Musk acknowledged the tweet below:
“Teslarati is shadow banned. Why does Twitter shadowban a Tesla news site? This isn’t right. @TwitterSupport fix this. Y’all let bots run rampant but try to silence an actual Tesla-related news site!? This is sus”
🤔

Musk also tweeted:
“Interaction with almost all twitter accounts seem to be much lower in recent weeks & days. Accurate?”

It is in our opinion and also based on something Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal said, that free speech is not the priority of Twitter.
Musk may yet have a few more tricks up his sleeve, but until court proceedings kick off and documents are revealed, we can only speculate.
Meanwhile we will keep an eye on Twitter and Tesla stock to see if trading action there gives us any clues over the coming week.
