Twitter spent $33m in three months on Elon Musk deal
July 27, 2022

Twitter spent $33m (£27m) on Elon Musk’s proposed deal to buy the firm between April and June 2022.
It also said its number of monthly daily users had risen to 237m – but it reported a net loss of $270m, which was worse than expected.
Mr Musk has since changed his mind about the purchase, and a court date is now set for October because Twitter wants to force through the sale.
There is a $1bn termination fee potentially at stake.
Twitter declined to discuss its latest financial results, citing the “pending acquisition” as the reason.
