Elon Musk responded formally on Friday to Twitter’s lawsuit against him, saying the court should reject Twitter’s request for a short trial in the next two months and arguing the case will be more complicated and technical than Twitter makes it out to be.

Twitter sued Musk on Tuesday to force him to complete his acquisition of the company after he said last week that he was terminating the deal. Musk has argued he has a right to leave the deal because the company didn’t give him enough information to figure out if its estimates about the number of spam bots on the platform are accurate. A spokesperson for Twitter declined to comment.

Musk’s filing details a May 6 meeting he had with Twitter’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer where they discussed how the company calculates its estimates for how many bots on the platform. The process, which Musk says is based on human reviewers looking at a small percentage of accounts, was much less rigorous than he had expected, the filing says.

“Musk was stunned to discover that Twitter’s process for identifying spam accounts relied on human reviewers,” according to the filing. “Musk quickly understood that management did not have a handle on the bot and spam issue.

Musk is filing for a delay to prepare for a trial that he never wanted and tried to ridicule. WaPo: 'Musk fires back.' 🤦‍♂️

Right....can be decided by Judge Judy in 10 minutes with a commercial break thrown in...Elon's screwed!

He's scared.

Twitter sucks. Good call

I never hope but expected this will happen. Instead of profit you will book lose from Twitter 😅. I know life is not fair for rich people sometime

People forget that the dude put an ATM online. It wasn't brilliant he was just the first. He then took all that money and bought Tesla he did not invent it. He then ran that into the ground and had to be bailed out by the American taxpayer. Let's keep it real.

Has anyone asked Elon what his thoughts are about the fact that his father is a groomer?

It's true, Twitter is trying to shame the U.S. legal system and the Judge in charge of the case by speeding things up when they know dam well that this is the end & their desire to get any money for Twitter is ending in their exploitation of them giving no f***s about democracy

This and Woody Allen type , stepdaughter pregnancy is a awful, awful look.
