Musk loses his first legal battle against Twitter

The American billionaire, Elon Musk, lost, on Tuesday, a legal battle to postpone Twitter's lawsuit against him, to force him to complete a $ 44 billion deal to acquire the company.

A judge in the US state of Delaware has set a hearing to begin hearing the lawsuit next October.

Twitter and Musk put forward several proposals for when the lawsuit will be considered in court, on Tuesday.

Musk had been pressing for a trial to take place in February.

The Twitter platform is anxiously awaiting the outcome of the lawsuit it filed against Musk to force him to abide by the agreement signed between them, in which the billionaire pledged to buy the platform for $ 44 billion, before withdrawing from this deal.
