Twitter (TWTR)

Twitter slipped 1% in the premarket after Elon Musk sent a

$44 billion deal to buy Twitter in early July. The second notice, detailed in
an SEC filing, offers additional reasons for pulling out, including the
contention that allegations detailed in the recent whistleblower complaint
could have severe consequences for Twitter’s business.
