LEGAL TALK NETWORK
About this episode

Twitter's lawsuit against Elon Musk is quickly gearing up. Although hearings are scheduled to start in mid-October, thick legal briefs have already been filed with the Delaware Chancery Court. The legal battle over Elon Musk's attempt to back out of a $44 billion deal to buy the social media giant began in July 2022. This litigation is being played out in court as well as in the public. Ultimately, the court will decide whether or not the billionaire Tesla CEO is obligated to follow through with his $44 billion deal to buy the social media company.

In this special Litigation Radio podcast, host Dave Scriven-Young welcomes two highly experienced, security litigators to give the legal arguments from both sides of the aisle.
