Twitter chief musk”>Elon Musk has threatened to sue Microsoft after the technology giant announced plans to drop his social media company from its advertising platform.

“They trained illegally using Twitter data. Lawsuit time,” Musk tweeted.

The tech giant earlier in a notice said that its advertising platform “will no longer support Twitter” from April 25.

The move came in the wake of Twitter announcing fees to use its API, with access starting at USD 42,000 a month.

From April 25, users will no longer be able to access their Twitter accounts through Microsoft’s Digital Marketing Center’s social media management tool, according to Microsoft. Users will also no longer be able to schedule, create, or manage tweets or tweet drafts. In addition, users won’t be able to view their past tweets and engagement on the Microsoft Advertising platform.

“Starting on April 25, 2023, Smart Campaigns with Multi-platform will no longer support Twitter,” Microsoft said. A similar email has begun to go out to Microsoft Advertising users stating that “Digital Marketing Center (DMC) will no longer support Twitter starting on April 25, 2023.”
