Musk has revived his bid to buy Twitter at his original offer price, but the court has not yet received word to put the case on hold
The trial in Twitter’s lawsuit against Elon Musk is still due to begin on October 17 because the court has not yet received an agreement from the parties to put the case on hold, the Delaware judge overseeing the matter said in a letter on Wednesday.
Twitter said on Tuesday that it received Musk’s revived offer and intends to close the deal at the agreed-upon price, without commenting specifically on how it will respond to Musk. That same day, the judge asked both sides to come back to her with a proposal on how the case can now proceed. She went on to order Musk and his legal team to produce additional discovery in the case and criticised them for not properly turning over communications that could be evidence in Twitter’s lawsuit, although she declined to impose any penalty at this time. She said that that the absence of text messages from two periods in May and June suggests that Musk used “other information channels not captured by text records” such as iMessage or Signal.
