Summary
As part of his bid to purchase the company, the billionaire had said one of his priorities is ridding the platform of "spam bots," fake Twitter accounts that generate automated messages.This latest development in Musk's acquisition could signal he is looking for a way to change the terms of the deal, or perhaps back away from it entirely, without having to pay a $1 billion penalty.Musk is relying on what is known as a specific performance clause in the contract to avoid that penalty.
