And now we know the meaning of chaos...

Twitter v. Musk: no more trial in October. But what will November bring?

[updated: Tornetta pre-trial initial debrief here]

Wow. It’s hard to describe the rollercoaster of the past few days, weeks, and months. There’s nothing like having a little pause in unrelenting action to give you one last dose of whiplash just before you take your first full breath in emotional eons. Even the printer lost its mind when I tried to move on to the next thing.

The Chancery Daily @chancery_daily

yes that's literally a photo of my printer, and also yes, it's all you-all's fault that it went off the rails because I was busy responding to tweets when the job went sideways but also, yes, you'll soon have some more context and thoughts on solarcity (& tornetta), as promised

Perhaps that all sounds overly dramatic, but I assure you that I don’t think I could overdramatize the impact of trying to bring an entire new audience into the fray over the past few months with a case of this magnitude and spectacle. There have been other interesting and news-worthy cases in the Delaware Court of Chancery, to be sure. There have been other cases of interest to arbitrageurs and other investors, certainly. But nothing has ever come close to the all-eyes-on vibe of a case involving a social media platform itself and the richest man on Earth. Those are superlatives of the kind that perhaps never the twain shall meet again.

I don’t mean to talk like anything is over, because it’s not. The case isn’t over. The deal isn’t closed. The promise to close is effectively a simple reiteration of the one ensconced in the April 25, 2022 Merger Agreement and its corollary documents. We know how that promise turned out. But, what now?
