The billionaire's lawyers indicated a "few" weeks

Twitter, for its part, accused the tycoon of trying to drag out the trial and "sow chaos" with more requests for documents, claiming at one point that his lawyers had been forced to pause responding to requests from international authorities.

Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick said the Tesla latvia phone number data owner should be given ample leeway to amend the claims before the trial begins, dismissing Twitter’s objections. However, she was “reluctant to say more about the merits of the counterclaims” before the litigation.

The court has also agreed to allow allegations from Twitter’s former security chief, Peiter “Mudge” Zatko , to be incorporated into its case . Musk and Twitter will negotiate over the discovery of new documents related to Zatko’s allegations, which include a variety of claims about Twitter’s mismanagement as well as claims that executives lied about the number of bots on the platform.

McCormick also stressed that Twitter would be unduly harmed by a delay in the trial, which Musk wanted to hold next year. “The company has been forced for months to operate under the constraints of a repudiated merger agreement,” she said, adding: “I am convinced that even a four-week delay would pose a risk of additional harm to Twitter too great to justify.
