WILMINGTON, Del—Elon Musk asked a judge to schedule a five-day trial beginning Oct. 17, not Oct. 10 as requested by Twitter Inc., to resolve his bid to walk away from his $44 billion deal to acquire the social media platform, according to a court filing on Tuesday.
A lawyer for Musk, the world’s richest person, said he was writing to ask the judge to “break the impasse to allow things to move forward promptly.”
