Court Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick has set a 90-minute hearing to debate whether to set a trial date for September.

Musk, the chief executive of Tesla and the richest person in the world, according to Forbes' Billionaires List, asked a Delaware court on Friday to reject Twitter's attempt to put the merger case on trial in September, arguing it's an "unjustifiable" time frame.

Twitter sued Musk in an attempt to force him to complete his purchase of the company, after he declared in early July he was walking away from the deal.
