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.

@Fukfacewillie It looks like the judge is leaning toward a final decision by Oct 24, which is the contractual date of what seems to be an iron-clad agreement.

A little while ago, Musk tweeted a picture of Bill Gates, showing a beer belly, and making fun of it. The news was full of a Musk, looking like beer keg, on his Mykonos vacation over the weekend.

@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.
