Musk-Twitter Battle: Elon Musks Responses To Be Made Public

If you haven’t lived under a rock for the last few months, you would have heard about the Musk-Twitter acquisition saga. The whole process of Elon Musk, who has developed a cult-like following around him on the internet, asking to buy off Twitter, and then things falling apart, has developed to be nothing short of a film script. Now, adding another link to this never-ending chain is the news that Musk’s response to Twitter’s lawsuit could be made public soon.

To set some context for the uninitiated, since March earlier this year, which was the time when Musk first floated the proposals and almost bought the microblogging platform, sealing the deal at $44 billion, and then he attempted to back out. 

All of this, while being in the news for several other reasons, Musk brought the world to a standstill. After Musk’s withdrawal from the deal, Twitter filed a lawsuit against him. During the proceedings of the lawsuit, a judge ruled on Wednesday that Musk's responses are to be made public by Friday.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 14, 2022 Twitter wants to review Musk’s arguments

Musk’s attorneys initially proposed filing a public version of their answer and counterclaims on Wednesday. However, Twitter’s attorneys were against it and called for more time to review the drafts from Twitter’s side. That is what prevented Musk’s side from making their side of the arguments and claims public. 

Commenting on this matter, one of Twitter’s attorneys, Kevin Shannon, wrote, “Few cases attract as much public interest as this one, and Twitter is mindful of this court's commitment to ensuring maximum public access to its proceedings.” Shannon added, “Twitter has no interest in proposing any more redactions to defendants' responsive pleading than necessary.”

With things developing by the hour, it will be interesting to see where things go on from now, and what claims Musk’s side makes.
