Given his wealth, it is pretty clear that Elon Musk has the best lawyers that money can buy, but this does not help when the client is a narcissistic idiot.
A judge in Delaware Chancery Court has denied Elon Musk and his legal team a requested trial delay in the ongoing Twitter lawsuit against the billionaire for the second time, in a Wednesday ruling.
“I am convinced that even four weeks’ delay would risk further harm to Twitter too great to justify,” wrote Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick in the court filing. In her reasoning, she cites employee departures and the difficulty Twitter has faced continuing operations amid Musk’s chaotic attempts to walk back his $44 billion agreement to purchase the social media platform.
Earlier in this seemingly endless debacle, back in July, McCormick also refused to grant Musk’s team their request to push the trial to February 2023, opting instead for five days scheduled in October of this year.
He does get to use the (remarkably timely and convenient) "whistleblower" report from Peiter “Mudge” Zatko, but as the good folks at Techdirt noted, his complaint actually does more to prove Twitters case than Musk's case.
I pity his lawyers, because it is clear that the judge is sick of Elon's crap.
