In a legal filing lobbed against Elon Musk late Monday, Twitter continued to push for an expedited trial, aiming to prevent the billionaire from going on what the company says may be a potentially damaging fishing expedition for internal documents.

The filing comes ahead of a Tuesday live hearing before a judge in the Delaware Chancery Court, kicking off a high-stakes case pitting the world’s richest man against the popular social media company. It could be resolved in several months — if Twitter gets its wish — or far longer.

Twitter sued Elon Musk last week to force him to make good on his promise to buy the social media company for $44 billion. Musk has vowed to complete the deal in contracts, which his team says are now invalid because Twitter concealed key information about the level of spam and fake accounts on its service......

In Monday’s filing, Twitter doubled down on its reasons for a quick trial that would take place in September.

“Musk offers no reason to think discovery must be so expansive that a trial must wait until next year,” the document states, adding that his fixation on bots is ultimately a “sideshow” his team is using to prolong the litigation and irrelevant to the contract Musk signed.
