Twitter Inc. was sued by a consulting firm that claims it’s owed around $2 million for work relating to its lawsuit to force Elon Musk to complete his buyout of the social-media platform.
Charles River Associates sued Twitter on Thursday in state court in Boston. The firm said it was hired in August to provide expert economic testimony to rebut the witness Musk was expected to put on the stand. But Musk reversed himself in October and agreed to move ahead with his $44 billion acquisition.
