A judge will hear arguments on Twitter Inc.’s request to fast-track its lawsuit against billionaire Elon Musk, as the social-media platform seeks to force him to complete his proposed $44 billion acquisition.
Lawyers for San Francisco-based Twitter say they need only four days to prove the world’s richest person must honor his agreement and pay $54.20 a share. The company filed suit last week, requesting a Sept. 19 start for the non-jury trial.
