Elon Musk desires time to get ready for a trial over his controversial withdrawal from an arrangement to purchase Twitter for $44 billion, according to a filing in a Delaware chancery court by his lawyers on Friday.
Musk’s group states the trial ought to wait till next year, after Twitter had actually asked for expedited treatment and a hearing as early as this September.
In their filing, an opposition to a movement submitted earlier by Twitter, Musk’s lawyers declared the business made a “sudden request for warp speed after two months of foot-dragging and obfuscation,” and stated this was Twitter’s “latest tactic to shroud the truth about spam accounts.”
An accelerated hearing, Musk’s side states, would be an unjust method and a method to cover the degree of the platform’s issues with phony accounts. Earlier today, Twitter taken legal action against Musk, declaring the Tesla CEO was engaging a bad faith effort to revoke the offer.
Musk’s lawyers argued, “it would be an ‘extraordinary feat’ to try a complex busted deal case within even five to six months,” and they state “holding trial in February 2023 would balance the interests of the parties and the Court.”
Twitter was looking for a hearing within about 60 days.
Twitter decreased to discuss the matter. Musk didn’t react to an ask for remark.
