In another twist to the ongoing saga of Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter (NYSE:TWTR), the Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO came out publicly to deny claims that former President Trump had encouraged him to acquire the platform. Musk refuted a New York Post article that stated that both Trump and Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes had reached out to him during the negotiations with Twitter. It is unclear as to why Nunes would lie about the claims although it is likely he was trying to piggyback off the publicity to put Truth Social into a better light.
