(Bloomberg) — Twitter Inc. responded to billionaire Elon Musk’s decision to withdraw from his proposed $44 billion takeover of the company with a 62-page lawsuit.

Twitter’s suit cites no fewer than 13 Musk tweets in setting out the arc of the billionaire’s infatuation with the service, which started with the pun of “love me tender” before his bid in April.

After the release of the lawsuit, Musk tweeted “Oh the irony lol” in response.
