Twitter Trial Against Musk Is Halted to Allow Deal to Close
TimeMAR 27 2023
The Spin
Narrative A
This court filing is just the latest in a series of drama around Musk's acquisition of Twitter. His on-again-off-again purchase of the social media giant has been comically complicated, and his uncooperativeness is shady at worst and shenanigans at best. That the Feds are investigating is just another act in the play.
Narrative B
Musk likely intends to close the deal, and his reasons for the delay are likely tied to the time it takes to finish pulling together his previously announced financing arrangements. The pieces are coming together, and a Musk-owned Twitter is finally in sight.
