Representatives of Elon Musk and Twitter Inc. are still grappling with terms of an agreement that would enable the purchase of the social-media company to proceed, continuing a monthslong drama surrounding the fate of the blockbuster deal.
The discussions are the latest the two sides have held as a courtroom clash draws nearer. They quietly held unsuccessful talks regarding a possible cut to the price of $44 billion for the social-media platform before Mr. Musk reversed course Monday and said he would return to the original agreement’s terms, people familiar with the matter said.
