According to anonymous sources, Musk sent another offer letter to buy the company at the same price he initially proposed in April.
There was a brief halt to trading ofTwitter shares.
There was no discussion of concerns about bot in the messages.
The battle between Musk and the social media company has been going on for months. Musk tried to cancel the deal after he claimed that he had been lied to. A trial date has been set for October 17th for the lawsuit that was filed against Musk.
A lot of text messages were released last week. There was no discussion of concerns about bot in the messages. What seemed to have caused Musk to lose interest was a conflict with the CEO of the micro-blogging site.
Musk had an argument about being given bad data at a hearing. Some companies were hired by him to analyze the bot numbers. One company said that 11 percent of users were inauthentic, but that analysis wasn't very strong.
At that hearing, it got worse for Musk. He is a well-known advocate of Signal, a privacy-focused messaging app. It is a problem when you are supposed to preserve your messages for a lawsuit. It's not clear how many messages were destroyed. The judge in this case has been asked to censure Musk.
A request for comment was not responded to by the company.
