Twitter affirmed Elon Musk's statements in a lawsuit filed in Delaware court that he was tricked into signing a company acquisition deal as "unreasonable and contrary to reality".

Elon Musk has previously made a series of statements in a Twitter lawsuit filed on July 29. After the summary was made public on August 4, Twitter immediately denied it.

Elon Musk said that he a billionaire who founded many companies, advised by lawyers and Wall Street bankers was scammed by Twitter into signing a $44 billion merger deal. That story is unreasonable and contrary to reality, Twitter said in its latest document filed by the company in court on August 4.

Twitter's reaction is the latest move in a persistent legal battle between the world's richest billionaire and the social media giant.

Earlier this week, Twitter issued dozens of court summonses to banks, investors and law firms that backed Elon Musk's acquisition bids.

Meanwhile, Musk has also filed a lawsuit against Twitter advisers at Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan.

Legal experts say Twitter wants to find out why Musk canceled the deal, or whether the billionaire denies his obligations for not securing finances.

Previously, in April, Elon Musk offered to buy Twitter for $54.20 a share. The Tesla CEO said he believes in the potential of this social network as a global platform for free speech.

But the billionaire later withdrew from the deal, citing that Twitter did not provide details about the fake accounts.

Immediately afterwards, Twitter sued Elon Musk, accusing Tesla CEO of damaging the deal, causing many difficulties for the company as well as shareholders.
