He made the latest offer just two weeks before a Twitter lawsuit aimed at forcing Musk to go through with the deal was scheduled to go to trial in Delaware Chancery Court. After receiving Musk’s offer, Twitter said it intends to close the transaction. > The two parties now have to close the deal by Friday. If they don't, the Delaware Chancery Court judge overseeing the case plans to reschedule the trial in November.
