Elon Muskis on vacation!

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO, 51, was spotted relaxing on a luxury yacht moored off the coast of Mykonos, Greece, on Sunday.

Keeping things casual in a plain T-shirt and swim shorts, Musk appeared to be kicking back with friends following thetermination of his deal to purchase Twitter, for which Twitter is suing him, and a feud with former President Donald Trump.

Musk’s new spat with Trump, 76, started during a July 9 political rally in Alaska, when Trump spoke about the billionaire’s claim that he’d recently voted for a Republican for the first time,according toThe Washington Post.

“He said the other day, ‘Oh, I’ve never voted for a Republican.’ I said, ‘I didn’t know that,'” Trump said at the rally. “He told me he voted for me, so he’s another bull— artist.”

“I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset,“wroteMusk. “Dems should also call off the attack – don’t make it so that Trump’s only way to survive is to regain the Presidency.”

Trumpreplied on Truth Socialthat Musk “should focus on getting himself out of the Twitter mess because he could owe $44 billion for something that’s perhaps worthless.”

In a further post, Trump mulled about why Musk was “allowed to break the $15 million stock purchase barrier on Twitter without any reporting?”

“That is a very serious breach! Have fun Elon and@jack, go to it!” he wrote, bringing Twitter co-founderJack Dorseyinto the conversation.

Musk had previously said he would reverse Trump’spermanent Twitter ban, a result of theJan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, if his Twitter deal succeeded.

After Muskfiled to terminate his $44 billion dealto purchase Twitter on July 8, the social media company’s board said it planned to sue him to make sure the much-anticipated deal finally goes through.

When Musk filed to terminate the deal, he claimed that Twitter did not provide enough information about the number of fake accounts and bots on the social media platform, and didn’t give his team enough data to do their own analysis.

“Sometimes Twitter has ignored Mr. Musk’s requests, sometimes it has rejected them for reasons that appear to be unjustified, and sometimes it has claimed to comply while giving Mr. Musk incomplete or unusable information,” read the filing.

“In April 2022, Elon Musk entered into a binding merger agreement with Twitter, promising to use his best efforts to get the deal done,” Twitter said in the complaint, filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery. “Now, less than three months later, Musk refuses to honor his obligations to Twitter and its stockholders because the deal he signed no longer serves his personal interests,” it continued.

“Having mounted a public spectacle to put Twitter in play, and having proposed and then signed a seller-friendly merger agreement, Musk apparently believes that he — unlike every other party subject to Delaware contract law — is free to change his mind, trash the company, disrupt its operations, destroy stockholder value, and walk away,” the company claimed.

Attorneys for Musk haven’t responded to PEOPLE’s request for comment about the lawsuit.
