He called Twitter's request to expedite the case an “unjustified request.” Tesla CEO Elon Musk claims that it is impossible to “request a short trial” in the next two months, as the case will be complex and technical.

Elon Musk sues Delaware Court of Chancery
Musk is seeking a lawsuit that balances the interests of both parties and the court on or after February 13, 2023.

He claims his $44 billion merger lawsuit, which will be prosecuted within two months, should be dismissed.

He asked the court to order Musk to complete the deal at the agreed price of $54.20 per share. Elon Musk's latest move marks a long and massive legal battle between the two giants. Musk asked the court to adjourn the case until February next year, based on the complexity and technical aspects of the case.

It also argues that Twitter's request to expedite the case is based on the October 24 termination date in the purchase agreement. However, the date automatically remains in case one of the parties files a lawsuit. Interestingly, the financing package for the acquisition expires in April 2023. This means that the agreement may expire if the purchase cannot be completed by the deadline. Twitter's share price rose 4 percent to $37.74 on Friday.

Wall Street experts do not believe that the deal will take place at the agreed price and is subject to renegotiation.
