The legal team of billionaire and businessman, Elon Musk, has asked to postpone his trial for delaying the purchase of the Twitter platform until next year.
Musk’s lawyers said the case should go to trial no later than February 13, 2023, alleging that Twitter is pressing for an unreasonably fast trial, due to allegations that the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX He incorrectly ended his $44 billion bid to buy the social media platform, according to Bloomberg.
Elon Musk’s legal team wrote, in a complaint they filed last Friday, that “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 lawyers repeated Musk’s claim that Twitter misrepresented the amount of fake accounts on its platform, noting that it takes a lot of experts and a lot of time to detect them.
Delaware District Judge Chancery Kathleen McCormick had set a 90-minute hearing for July 19, which will see the hearing hear arguments about holding a trial in September.
