Twitter has come out on top in the opening battle between Elon Musk and the social media giant. A Delaware court judge rejected Musk’s petition to delay the trial until next year, ruling that the trial should take place in October.
Musk’s legal team had argued against expediting the process due to the complexity of the case, but Delaware Court of Chancery’s chancellor Kathleen St. Jude McCormick said that they underestimated the court's ability to process complex cases.
According to McCormick, who spoke via a Zoom call as she had tested positive for Covid-19, delays would be detrimental to Twitter.
