Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas rebuked Twitter Inc. over its move to block him for abusive behavior and vowed not to give up after Mexico’s top court dismissed a plea for relief from a $127 million tax claim against his flagship retailer.
Salinas, the chairman of an appliance retailer and bank as well as the country’s No. 2 TV network, appeared in a video posted on the Twitter account of his cable news station following his second bout of Covid, which he called a “bad cold.”
