Delaware Judge Approves Motion to Expedite Twitter’s Lawsuit Against Elon Musk

Today, Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick, the chief judge of the Delaware Chancery Court, set a five-day October trial in the Twitter lawsuit case against Elon Musk.

Musk was arguing that February 2023, is the earliest he cab be ready for a trial, as he needs time to study ghost accounts data.

Musk claims that the reason he's backing out, is the amount of fake accounts. Let's see how he's going to spin this, given his well documented tweets, claiming the reason he wants to by Twitter, is to clean up fake accounts and spam.

The walls are closing in. He still has his disciples, like Trump, but more are starting to recognize his con. The thing I never understood though is how many of cult members scream and yell about wealth disparity and worker rights, but go all in with him. I guess the need to believe is really strong for some. Yep. Their fearless leader. He's something special.

Elon, Is that a back paddle or backpedal?

This judge was appointed to the court by a Democrat governor in Biden's home state.

This judge was appointed to the court by a Democrat governor in Biden's home state.

So what you're saying that is that every single judge appointed during the Trump administration cannot be trusted to rule on any case involving anyone who's ever voted Democrat.

That's some fine deductive logic. But I can see where you get it from. 🤣

@Northwest No, you said that. That's your 'logic.' I said a simple fact.

No, you said that. That's your 'logic.' I said a simple fact.

So then you're not capable of processing simple logic. Listen sparky, your statement can only have a single logical conclusion: that judges will only rule on political basis, based on whom they were appointed by.

But some people are devoid of logic.

@Northwest Geez. Grow up. He should have been checked by the SEC, but they balked. He's not Trump in politics -- business relies on deals, big ones, and if they aren't enforced then we're fucking with fundamental forces of capitalism.

@Fukfacewillie He's been begging the SEC to stick his ass in jail for years. Any CEO who makes public statements, like he does, affecting not only his own company's stock holdings, but several other companies as well, would be fined, muted, or in jail. I wonder if his public "I have Asperger" has anything to do with it.

@Northwest Indeed. I think the SEC was just intimidated, like how the IRS backed off from Scientology, and now won't enforce the law requiring political neutrality for houses of worship to maintain tax exempt status.

It's a shame because Musk builds great companies and was a true innovator, but now he seems intent on self-destruction. Now that he has crossed Trump I wonder if his flitation with right wing politics will continue.

Reason he's backing out is he realized the sheer logistics of running the entirety of Twitter was more than he wanted to deal with. I think we can all see that.

@Mindful He built a cult around him, and he loves it. Tesla's stock is speculatively priced, not reality priced, but the same can be said about all the stocks that created the 2000 crash.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@Mindful I agree. It was stupid of him to open his mouth in the first place, and now he's paying the price.

Mindful · 56-60, F

@Northwest exactly true the same can be said about all the other stocks. But he is NOT helping himself by making himself in the long run look like an idiot. He’s an unreliable player.
