Musk Tweet on Pausing Twitter Deal Was Frustration, Adviser Says

Elon Musk was frustrated with Twitter Inc. when he tweeted in 2022 that his offer to buy the company was “temporarily on hold,” but his team continued to work behind the scenes to make it work, his main financial adviser testified.

Jared Birchall, who was hired by Musk a decade ago to run his family office, was called to the witness stand Tuesday in the second day of a trial over claims by a group of investors that the multibillionaire waffled on the Twitter purchase to get a better deal for himself.
