Elon Musk's lawyers have said that Twitter is pressing for an unreasonably fast trial, over allegations that the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX improperly withdrew from the acquisition of Twitter in a $44 billion deal, according to Bloomberg.
According to Arabnet, Musk's legal team wrote in a complaint filed Friday in response to the social media platform: Twitter's sudden request for speed-rolling after two months of slowdowns and blackouts is its latest tactic to hide the truth about spam accounts long enough.
The two sides are pushing for the case to be considered according to an entirely different timetable. Noting that the deal was set for October 24 for final implementation, Twitter demanded a 4-day expedited trial before the end of September. Meanwhile, Musk's team said the case should go to trial no later than February 13, 2023.
The fundamental controversy over fake accounts and spam is fundamental to Twitter's value,' Musk's lawyers wrote, repeating the billionaire's claim that Twitter incorrectly quantified the amount of fake accounts and spam on its platform. .
Fortunately, neither side will have to wait long to see when the proceedings begin. On Friday, Delaware District Judge Kathleen McCormick set a 90-minute hearing for July 19.
