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 case is scheduled to go to trial on October 17. &nbsp;

Makers of Dolo-650, a fever reducing drug, had distributed freebies worth whooping Rs 1,000 crore to doctors as consideration for prescribing the tablet, the Federation of Medical & Sales Representatives Association of India told the Supreme Court.

In a move to uplift tax revenues from alcoholic beverages, the Japanese government has launched a nationwide competition calling for ideas to encourage people to drink more alcohol. 
The Sake Viva! campaign, which is being run by the National Tax Agency (NTA), asks 20- to 39-year-oldsto come up with ideas for new "products and designs" to "stimulate demand among young people".
This includes boosting Japanese alcoholic beverages such as sake (rice wine), beer, whiskey, wine or beer. 
According to reports, the group running the competition for the tax authority says new habits - partly formed during the Covid pandemic - and an ageing population have led to a decline in alcohol sales.
Taxes on alcohol products accounted for 5% of total revenue in 1980, but shrunk to just 1.7% in 2020, according to The Japan Times.
