Twitter Asserts Musk Is 'slow-Walking' Through His $44 Billion Deal Trial
According to a court filing, Twitter Inc accused Elon Musk of attempting to "slow walk" the company's case to make him accountable for his $44 billion takeover and demanded a September trial to ensure deal financing remains in place.
 
"Millions of Twitter shares trade daily under a cloud of Musk-created doubt," the company wrote. "No public company of this size and scale has ever had to bear these uncertainties."
 
Twitter has filed a lawsuit against Musk, requesting that a Delaware judge order him to finalise the merger at the agreed-upon price of $54.20 per share.
 
If Musk is compelled to conclude the agreement, the company claimed it might take months of more litigation to close the loan funding, which expires in April. As a result, Twitter requested that the judge reject Musk's intention to hold the trial in February.
