A Delaware judge hearing Elon Musk’s dispute with Twitter on Thursday postponed the hearing , a surprise decision that granted Musk’s request and effectively halted settlement talks that would have allowed the two sides to close the deal quickly. Musk now has until October 28 to complete the Twitter acquisition. Justice Kathaleen McCormick said if the deal could not be completed by that date, parties should contact her to arrange a hearing in November. She had previously rejected Musk’s request to postpone the trial and fast-tracked the case at Twitter’s request. Musk kicked off talks earlier this week as the Oct. 17 trial date loomed, and he unexpectedly offered to close the deal at the original price after months of seeking to get out of the deal.
