Lawyers for Musk are making a case to slow things down because of the fast pace of the trial.
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. The lawsuit was taken to task for dragging the social network through the mud and for trying to back out of the deal.
The trial should be expedited with a start date as soon as September according to the request.
On Friday, Musk's legal team claimed that the case will require "forensic review and analysis of a deep pool of data." The new filing came from Musk's legal team.
An extremely rapid schedule for a case of this enormous magnitude is what Team Musk is trying to achieve.
Musk's legal team wrote that the sudden request for warp speed after two months of foot-dragging and obfuscation was its latest tactic to shroud the truth. It is argued in the filing that the process of determining how much Twitter is worth isfundamental.
The judge will decide if the case should be expedited on July 19th.
