Serious Trouble

Elon Musk, Chancery Courts, Specific Performance, and the Pride of Delaware


Listen Later

Elon Musk agreed to buy Twitter. He doesn’t want to buy it anymore. Twitter wants to enforce the contract that requires him to buy the company, and so they’re arguing in the chancery court in Delaware about what will happen next.

Listen to this episode where we discussed all those matters. For a transcript of this episode visit serioustrouble.show.
