As the future of Twitter is at stake, the social media giant said the notion Elon Musk was "hoodwinked" into inking a $44 billion buyout deal defies reason and the facts.
In a filing, Twitter rejected counter claims made by Musk as he fights to walk away from the deal he inked in April to buy the San Francisco-based company.
The company accused Musk of contriving a story to escape a merger agreement that he no longer found attractive.
The Tesla boss wooed Twitter's board with a $54.20 per-share offer, but then in July announced he was ending their agreement because the firm had misled him regarding its tally of fake and spam accounts.

The images of the same were shared on the official Instagram account of Sahib Singh. In the caption, it was mentioned that "being part of the Burberry Bear autumn winter '22 campaign is incredible and to be the first patka wearing model for the biggest British brand is just an amazing achievement for our little 4-year-old and the Sikh community."
<h3>What is patka?&nbsp;</h3>
Patka holds traditional value as it is worn by Sikh boys before they start wearing the pagri, which is also known as a turban.&nbsp;
Burberry has been drawing praise on social media. Several users praised the brand for representing the Sikh community and promoting inclusivity and diversity.

Elaborating on the data breach, the company said, &ldquo;We are completely mindful that this would be of concern to you. We would like to assure you that aside from some details which are a part of your profile, no sensitive information pertaining to your Cleartrip account has been compromised as a result of this anomaly of our systems.&rdquo;

Ministry of Civil Aviation on Wednesday lifted caps on domestic airfare stating that the order will be effective from August 31.
The order has been notified after a review of the COVID-19 situation which imposed the limits on airfare in 2020. The ministry reiterated that airlines will continue to adhere to COVID guidelines.
Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia stated that the decision to remove air fare caps was taken after careful analysis of daily demand and prices of air turbine fuel.
The minister added that stabilisation has set in and the sector is poised for growth in domestic traffic in the near future.

Domestic airfare caps to be lifted from August 31

The order has been notified after a review of the COVID-19 situation which imposed the limits on airfare in 2020

The order has been notified after a review of the COVID-19 situation which imposed the limits on airfare in 2020

The cap on domestic airfare will be removed from August 31, almost 27 months after it was imposed due to Covid-19.&nbsp;
"The decision to remove air fare caps has been taken after careful analysis of daily demand and prices of air turbine fuel (ATF). Stabilisation has set in and we are certain that the sector is poised for growth in domestic traffic in the near future," Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Twitter.
ATF prices have been coming down during the last few weeks after jumping to record levels, primarily due to the Russia-Ukraine war that began on February 24.
On August 1, the price of ATF in Delhi was Rs 1.21 lakh per kilo-litre, which was around 14 per cent lower than last month.
The ministry had imposed lower and upper limits on domestic airfares based on flight durations when services were resumed on May 25, 2020 after a two-month lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For example, airlines currently cannot charge a passenger less than Rs 2,900 (excluding GST) and more than Rs 8,800 (excluding GST) for domestic flights of less than 40 minutes.
The lower caps were there to protect the financially weaker airlines and the upper caps to protect passengers from high fares.
On Wednesday, the Civil Aviation Ministry stated in an order: "After review of the current status of scheduled domestic operations viz-a-viz passenger demand for air travel...it has been decided to remove the fare bands notified from time to time regarding the airfares with effect from August 31, 2022." The airlines and airport operators must, however, ensure that the guidelines to contain the spread of COVID-19 are strictly adhered to and COVID-appropriate behaviour is strictly enforced by them during travel, it added.
Vistara CEO Vinod Kannan had on June 19 said that he would be happy if the lower and upper limits on airfares were increased but the best solution would be for the airlines to have absolute freedom on airfares.&nbsp;
