Ep. 257: Untangling The Musk-Twitter Saga

Elon Musk’s months-long dalliance with Twitter has finally spilled into court, as the social media platform sued the Tesla billionaire for backing out of his commitment to buy the company for $44 billion. With months of litigation likely ahead in Delaware’s notorious Court of Chancery, we welcome Law360 Delaware courts expert Leslie Pappas to unpack the complaint, the legal arguments from both sides and all the uncertainty of what happens next. Also this week, we discuss the sudden retirement of New York chief judge Janet Difiore in the midst of an ethics probe by the state’s judicial watchdog; the criminal fraud and conspiracy conviction of Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani as the Theranos drama winds down; and finally some more legal problems for the former stock trader who inspired the film “The Wolf of Wall Street.”
