14:11 -- Twitter Inc. is one of the most talked about companies in the U.S. across all news items in the last 12 hours, according to Factiva data. Elon Musk, who offered to buy the messaging service for $43 billion in April, later sought to terminate the deal. As The Wall Street Journal reported, Mr. Musk said Twitter didn't provide the necessary data and information he needs to access the prevalence of fake or spam accounts on the service. On Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal said Mr. Musk's lawyers sent a new letter to Twitter, seeking to end the deal, which cited allegations made by Twitter's former chief security officer. Also on Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal said Mr. Musk was seeking to amend counterclaims against Twitter in the merger suit. Dow Jones & Co. owns Factiva. (stephen.nakrosis@wsj.com)
