(Reuters) \u2013     Twitter Inc on Monday accused Elon Musk of trying to \u201cslow walk\u201d the company\u2019s lawsuit to hold him to his $44 billion takeover and urged a September trial to ensure deal financing remains in place, according to a court filing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMillions of Twitter shares trade daily under a cloud of Musk-created doubt,\u201d the company wrote. \u201cNo public company of this size and scale has ever had to bear these uncertainties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Twitter has sued Musk and asked a Delaware judge to order him to complete the merger at the agreed price of $54.20 per share. <\/p>\n<p>The company said if Musk is ordered to close the deal it could still take months of additional litigation to close the debt financing, which expires in April. For that reason, Twitter asked the judge to reject Musk\u2019s proposal to hold the trial in February.<\/p>\n<p>Musk, who is the world\u2019s richest person and chief executive of electric carmaker Telsa Inc, accused San Francisco-based Twitter of rushing the trial to obscure the truth about spam accounts and to \u201crailroad\u201d him into buying the company.<\/p>\n<p>The two sides will make their arguments about the trial\u2019s proposed start date to a Delaware Court of Chancery judge on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p>The New York Post reported on Monday that Musk\u2019s lawyers are planning to countersue Twitter to gather more information about spam accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Shares of Twitter have fallen from more than $50 per share when the deal was announced in April to below $33 a share last week. Twitter\u2019s stock closed on Monday at $38.41, up 1.8%.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Tom Hals in Wilmington, Delaware, Editing by Rosalba O\u2019Brien)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2727880\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6H0Y2-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6H0Y2-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tom Hals WILMINGTON, Del.
