Elon Musk lost a fight to delay Twitter’s lawsuit against him as a judge cited a “cloud of uncertainty” over the social media company.
— and the company wants it to happen quickly because it says the ongoing dispute is harming its business.
Musk, the world’s richest man, pledged to pay $54.20 a share for Twitter, but now wants to back out of the agreement. “It’s attempted sabotage. He’s doing his best to run Twitter down,” said attorney William Savitt, representing Twitter in Delaware’s Court of Chancery before the court’s Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick.
Savitt said the contested merger agreement and Musk’s tweets disparaging the company were inflicting harm on the business and questioned Musk’s request for a delayed trial, asking “whether the real plan is to run out the clock.”
