Twitter's lawsuit is now being pushed. Since Elon Musk still refused to keep his promised billion-dollar acquisition, the social media giant decided to file a lawsuit against the billionaire.
Instead of filing the lawsuit in California (where Twitter is headquartered), the tech firm decided to ask the Delaware Court to handle its lawsuit.
For those unfamiliar with the connection between Delaware and Twitter, this U.S. state is where the social media firm was incorporated.
Although it is hard to conclude that this is a major advantage for Twitter, Elon Musk and his lawyers said that the Delaware Court should reject Twitter's request since the lawsuit is a rushed one.
Twitter Lawsuit is Rushed, Says Elon Musk
According to Business Insider's latest report, Elon Musk claims that the rushed lawsuit is actually part of Twitter's tactic to hide the actual amount of fake accounts spreading on the social media platform.
"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," said Elon Musk in its document sent to the Delaware Court.
He added that Twitter's value depends on how it efficiently handles the rise of spam and fake accounts. Aside from this, the filing made by the billionaire also claimed that the delay bot account disclosure was a strategized one.
This means that Twitter allegedly resisted the information disclosures made by the tech CEO. Now, Elon's lawyers defend their side, saying that Twitter is making "baseless new claims to challenge the billionaire from walking away from his acquisition deal.
What Elon Musk Wants?
As of writing, Elon Musk and his lawyers are asking the Delaware Court to reject the rushed lawsuit of Twitter. Based on the document, the billionaire said that two months is very quick for filing a case.
However, it is still unclear whether the tech CEO wants the court to disregard the social media platform's lawsuit completely or if he wants more time to prepare for the case.
