In the latest episode of the Elon Musk Twitter saga, Twitter has pushed back on the electric car head’s request for a trial held in February 2023, claiming the billionaire’s request “fails at every level,” according to a Monday court filing. 
“Musk offers no reason to think discovery must be so expansive that a trial must wait until next year,” Twitter’s attorneys stated in the July 18 filing. “The earliest possible trial date is imperative. This very public dispute harms Twitter with each passing day Musk is in breach.”
