In response to Twitter's threats of legal action against him, Elon Musk responded predictably: by posting memes on his own Twitter account, which has become one of the most popular in the world, according to Brandwatch.
On the morning of July 11, Musk tweeted a meme which included four shots of himself laughing, with text reading, "They said I couldn't buy Twitter / Then they wouldn't disclose bot info / Now they want to force me to buy Twitter in court / Now they have to disclose bot info in court." Musk's tweet has amassed more than 700,000 as of this writing. He then posted a picture of the iconic Chuck Norris sitting confidently at a chessboard, looking at the camera, followed by a tweet that simply read, "Chuckmate." His tweet was presumably in reference to the impending legal battle, though it is unknown what action or statement he was specifically referring to.
"We are committed to closing the transaction on the price and terms agreed upon with Mr. Musk and plan to pursue legal action to enforce the merger agreement," Twitter's board said in a statement to People. "We are confident we will prevail." Surely there will be more memes — if not statements — from Musk to come as the legal battle heats up. As his many followers know, Musk is anything but unafraid to voice his opinions, especially on matters concerning him.
