Elon Musk pushes for the Twitter trial to start next year
With Twitter pressing for a quick trial, Elon Musk's lawyers are making a case to slow things down.
In the lawsuit Twitter filed against its would-be owner, the company argued that it would only need four days to prove that the court should require Musk to follow through with his agreement to buy it for $44 billion. Twitter took the SpaceX and Tesla CEO to task in the lawsuit, not just for trying to back out of the deal but for dragging the social network through the mud in the process.
Twitter, likely tired of being in limbo as the drama drags on, requested that the trial be expedited with a start date as soon as September.
Musk's legal team pushed back on Friday, claiming that the case will require "forensic review and analysis" of a deep pool of data, referring to his argument that Twitter undercounts its number of spam and otherwise fake accounts. Bloomberg reported the new filing from Musk's legal team.
Team Musk is aiming for a February 13, 2023, trial date, which Bloomberg describes as "an extremely rapid schedule for a case of this enormous magnitude."
"Twitter’s sudden request for warp speed after two months of foot-dragging and obfuscation is its latest tactic to shroud the truth about spam accounts long enough to railroad defendants into closing," Musk's legal team wrote. The filing argues that an analysis of Twitter's bot population will be time-intensive but that the process is "fundamental" to determining how much Twitter is worth.
We'll know more about the timeline of the trial on July 19, when a judge will evaluate if the case should be expedited.

Reuters VideosThe Week in Numbers: the cost to not buy Twitter
STORY: From the cost of not buying Twitter, to a bad start for bank earnings season, this is the Week in Numbers. First up…$1 billion might be the cost to Elon Musk of dropping a move to buy Twitter. That’s the penalty for failing to complete the deal. Then again, Twitter is suing, and a court could order Musk to go ahead at the agreed $44 billion - now way above its current market value.28% was the plunge in quarterly profits at JPMorgan. Boss Jamie Dimon cited risks from soaring inflation to rapidly rising rates. Add in some sad numbers from rival Morgan Stanley, and the news sent U.S. stocks skidding.Ryan Payne is president of Payne Capital Management:“So, this is one of the bigger concerns that we've had here as we go into earnings seasons where analysts' expectations are too high and the banks are confirming that they were too high as bank earnings have come in disappointing.”$4 billion is how much money hedge-fund titan Bill Ackman is giving back to investors. That was how much they put into his record-breaking blank check company, or SPAC. Trouble is, Ackman says he can’t find any firm worth plowing the cash into.$1.19 billion is the hole in the balance sheet at Celsius Network. The crypto lender filed for bankruptcy this week, making it just the latest victim of a plunge in the value of virtual currencies.And just 0.4% was China’s annual growth rate over the latest quarter. That was the worst figure since records began in 1992, excepting the sharp plunge at the start of the health crisis, and economists bet the country now won’t meet government targets for the year. The news added to concerns about global growth.

TechCrunchBig tech companies in the spotlight as South Africa investigates dominance abuse
Big tech companies are facing increased scrutiny in South Africa for dominance abuse and anti-competitive behavior, just months after the country’s competition regulator, the Competition Commission (CompCom), started an inquiry into the conduct of online intermediation (b2c) platforms. In its initial findings, the regulator has established that Apple, Google, UberEats, Airbnb, Booking.com, and South Africa’s Mr Delivery; a food ordering and delivery platform, Takealot; an e-commerce site, Private Property and Property24; both real estate classifieds, and car classifieds Autotrader and Cars.co.za; have an unfair advantage as market leaders, and are operating in ways that impede competition. The inquiry team is seeking further evidence, if any, from parties affected by the “competition…conduct or market feature” of these platforms.

(Reuters) -The judge overseeing Twitter Inc's $44 billion lawsuit against Elon Musk has a no-nonsense reputation as well as the distinction of being one of the few jurists who has ever ordered a reluctant buyer to close a U.S. corporate merger. Kathaleen McCormick took over the role of chancellor or chief judge of the Court of Chancery last year, the first woman in that role. On Wednesday, she was assigned the Twitter lawsuit which seeks to force Musk to complete his deal for the social media platform, which promises to be one of the biggest legal showdowns in years.

Yellen says U.S. aims to move ahead with global minimum corporate tax despite setback
NUSA DUA, Indonesia (Reuters) -The United States will look for every opportunity to move ahead and enact a global minimum corporate tax agreement despite the opposition of a key Democratic senator, Joe Manchin, to raising corporate taxes, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said. Yellen told reporters on Saturday that finance officials from the Group of 20 major economies reached strong consensus about many issues, including the need to address a worsening food security crisis, despite differences over Russia's war in Ukraine that prevented the leaders from issuing a joint statement. Manchin, who holds the pivotal vote in the evenly divided Senate, this week said he would not support a Democratic proposal for new climate change spending and higher taxes for corporations and wealthier Americans.
