A Tuesday hearing marked the conclusion of the first legal square-off between Elon Musk and Twitter, during which the judge declared a trial date closer to the one Twitter proposed.

Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick of the court of Chancery in Delaware presided over the hearing, ordering that a 5-day trial take place in October 2022.
