Inside story of Musk's purchase of 'X' revealed, an account and reason behind Parag Aggarwal's deal not being made

The news that Tesla CEO Elon Musk had purchased social media behemoth Twitter (now X) garnered significant media attention. Numerous theories were floated regarding the rationale behind the purchase, but a new book asserts that Elon Musk attempted to block an 'X' account, but Parag Agarwal, the 'X' account's CEO at the time, resisted. Elon Musk decided to purchase 'X' only after this.

According to the book "Battle for the Bird," Jack Sweeney, an American programmer, had an account on X with the username "Allanjet." Information about Elon Musk's private jet travels is shared through this account. Elon Musk wanted X to ban this account because he was not happy with it. Elon Musk had also talked to Parag Aggarwal, the then CEO of 'X', regarding this. It has been claimed in the book that Parag Aggarwal had refused to ban that account.
