Lawyers for Elon Musk are suing the firm that represented Twitter during Musk’s back-and-forth to acquire the company in 2022, claiming it overcharged the company on legal fees. The firm—Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen, and Katz—helped push through Elon Musk’s deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion, an agreement Musk initially tried to back out of.
