Twitter trial: Elon Musk has made this ‘special’ request to judge

Tesla CEO Elon Musk asked a judge to schedule a five-day trial beginning October 17, not October 10 as requested by Twitter Inc, to resolve his bid to walk away from his $44 billion deal to acquire the social media platform, according to a court filing.
A lawyer for Musk, the world’s richest person, said he was writing to ask the judge to “break the impasse to allow things to move forward promptly.”
Twitter declined to comment.
Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick, the chief judge on Delaware’s Court of Chancery, last week ordered an October trial, which promises to be one of the biggest Wall Street legal fights in years. However, she left it to the parties to work out the precise schedule.
