But Twitter fired back and said it would try to enforce the deal and may possibly sue Musk.<\/p>\n<p>The deal was sparked after Musk purchased a significant amount of Twitter\u2019s shares and triggered speculation that Musk would enforce changes to the company\u2019s content moderation policies. Musk has often criticized the firm for having a left-wing bias and targeting conservative accounts\u2014and most recently when he targeted the firm for suspending psychologist Jordan Peterson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI called it early and said, \u2018That deal is never going to happen,\u2019\u201d Trump said in the Breitbart interview. \u201cWe\u2019re going to have to see what happens because they\u2019re going to be saying, \u2018You owe us $44 billion\u2019 because I hear they have a very tight contract.
