formally responded to Twitter lawsuit seeking to force him to go through with his $44 billion takeover of the social-media platform and included counterclaims against the company. It isn’t unusual for counterclaims against a public company to be filed confidentially, pending review for possible redactions of sensitive information. One of the counterclaims by Mr. Musk is expected to center on the allegation that Twitter changed its number of monetizable daily active users shortly after agreeing to the deal, and then didn’t provide thorough responses to requests by Mr. Musk’s team for data on the spam number, according to people familiar with the matter.
