Today, a Delaware court ruled that Twitter\u2019s lawsuit against Elon Musk for attempting to back out of his acquisition of the company will be heard in October. This is a win for Twitter, which asked for a shorter timeframe than Musk.<\/p>\n

Musk agreed to buy Twitter for $44 billion in April but then appeared to get cold feet about the deal. Despite having waived his ability to do \u201cdue diligence,\u201d or research on the company he was planning to acquire, he claimed that Twitter had too many bots. He then tried to terminate the agreement. In response, Twitter sued to hold him to the purchase.<\/p>\n

During oral arguments before the judge, Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick<\/a>, Twitter claimed that Musk\u2019s bot arguments were bad-faith attempts to back out of the deal due to an acute case of buyer\u2019s remorse. Twitter originally wanted a date in September; Musk asked for February. The trial will be five days \u2014 longer than Twitter asked for but shorter than Musk did. The exact dates haven\u2019t yet been scheduled.<\/p>\n

In court, Twitter\u2019s counsel said that Musk\u2019s conduct was \u201cinexcusable.\u201d Musk has held up an employee retention plan, and is engaging in \u201cneedless value destruction.\u201d In response, Musk\u2019s lawyers suggested that Twitter was giving Musk the run-around with bot data. Both teams agreed that Musk\u2019s team has run millions of queries on Twitter\u2019s firehose, a real-time feed of Tweets as they are sent. Musk\u2019s lawyers also indicated The New York Times<\/em> got a copy of Twitter\u2019s lawsuit before they did.<\/p>\n

After a 10-minute recess, McCormick said that a delay threatened irreparable harm to Twitter. Though an October court date is a quick turn-around, McCormick indicated she was confident the teams of lawyers would rise to the occasion.<\/p>\n

Update 4:16PM ET: <\/strong><\/em>Adds details on lawyers\u2019 arguments, McCormick\u2019s judgment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
