A judge is ruling in favor of Twitter against Elon Musk in its request for an expedited trial.
The Tesla CEO wanted the trial to begin next year, but Twitter's lawyers alleged he wanted to "run out the clock" by squashing the time for appeals.
The social media platform is suing Musk for backing out of his 44 billion dollar deal. They say he has continually disparaged Twitter since signing the merger agreement and wants to shift the cost of the market loss to stockholders.
