Elon Musk’s answer to Twitter’s lawsuit over backing out of their $44 billion deal will be made public latest by Friday, ruled a Delaware court judge. While Musk’s attorneys wanted to file a public version of their answer on Wednesday, Twitter requested the court for more time to review the sealed filing, stating that it “extensively” contains internal Twitter information and data given to Musk.
Elon Musk’s answer to Twitter’s lawsuit over his attempt to back out of a $44 billion (roughly Rs. 3,37,465 crore) deal to buy the social media company will be made public by Friday evening at the latest, a judge ruled Wednesday.
Attorneys for Musk wanted to file a public version of their answer and counterclaims in Delaware court Wednesday. But Twitter attorneys complained that they needed more time to review and potentially redact Musk’s sealed filing, saying it refers “extensively” to internal Twitter information and data given to Musk.
Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick held a quick teleconference Wednesday before agreeing with Twitter, directing that the public filing be docketed by 5pm Friday.
