San Francisco: Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s legal team has reportedly asked the court to push back the Twitter trial by early 2023, saying that the case requires “forensic review and analysis” of a deep pool of data.
While terminating his $44 billion Twitter takeover deal, Musk argued that the Parag Agrawal-headed micro-blogging platform is hiding the true number of fake/spam accounts on its platform.
In a new court filing first reported by Bloomberg, Musk’s lawyers have said that Twitter officials are unfairly pushing for a “warp speed” trial.
Twitter’s legal team said in the Delaware Court of Chancery that they will need just a four-day trial to prove that Musk is wrong on his decision to cancel the deal.
Twitter requested the court that the trial be expedited with a start date as soon as September.
