Elon Musk asks court to delay Twitter trial start to February 2023
Elon Musk’s lawyers allege Twitter is pushing for an unreasonably fast trial over allegations the Tesla and SpaceX CEO improperly ended his $44 billion bid to buy the social media platform, reports Bloomberg. “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 in a complaint filed Friday in response to Twitter’s July 12th lawsuit.
The two sides are pushing for the case to be considered on dramatically different timelines. Noting the deal has an October 24th “drop-dead date,” Twitter asked for a four-day trial that would conclude before the end of September. Meanwhile, Musk’s team says the case should go to trial no sooner than February 13th, 2023.
“The core dispute over false and spam accounts is fundamental to Twitter’s value,” Musk’s lawyers wrote, reiterating the billionaire’s claim that Twitter falsely represented the volume of bots on its platform. “It is also extremely fact and expert intensive, requiring substantial time, requiring substantial time for discovery.”
Thankfully, neither side will have to wait long to find out when proceedings start. On Friday, Delaware Chancery Court Judge Kathaleen McCormick scheduled a 90-minute hearing for July 19th. The session will see McCormick hear arguments for a September trial.

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.

Tonic maker Fevertree cuts profit forecast, shares plunge 30%
(Reuters) -Tonic maker Fevertree Drinks lowered its annual profit forecast on Friday amid worsening cost pressures and industry-wide supply chain snags, sending shares down 30% on track for their biggest-ever one-day percentage loss. Fevertree said it expected full-year operating profit to be in the range of 37.5 million pounds to 45 million pounds ($44.33 million - $53.19 million), well down from its earlier forecast of between 63 million pounds and 66 million pounds. The London-based company said demand from U.S. consumers remains strong, but labour shortages affecting East Coast production meant it had to ramp up U.K. output and ship drinks across the Atlantic at a time of elevated sea freight rates.
