The Honorable Kathaleen St. J. McCormick has announced the start date for the legal trial of Twitter vs Elon Musk over the acquisition of the social network.
The ongoing legal tussle between Twitter and Elon Musk is set to enter an interesting new phase later this year after a Delaware Chancery Court judge ruled that a trial will begin October 17. Earlier this month, Twitter took legal recourse to compel Musk to complete his proposed $44 billion acquisition of the social media website. This happened days after Musk announced his decision to terminate the much-publicized buyout deal in which Musk would have paid $54.20 per share for a majority stake in the company.
Shortly after bidding for Twitter, Musk expressed concerns about the true scale of bot accounts on the platform. Through his own Twitter account Musk also claimed that Twitter’s problems with fake accounts and spam were far worse than what Twitter had publicly revealed.
