The Chancery Salvo - Tuesday, July 12, 2022

Twitter Fires the Opening Salvo against Elon Musk
in the "Complaint Heard 'Round the Twitterverse"
 
The Chancery Daily notes that late this afternoon, Tuesday, July 12, 2022, just before closing time, Twitter's lawyers at Wachtell filed what can only be called the "Complaint Heard 'Round the Twitterverse" in Twitter, Inc. v. Elon R. Musk, et al., C.A. No. 2022-0613- (Del. Ch. July 12, 2022).  
 
Subscribers will appreciate that TCD only rarely discusses popular topics of Twitterean interest. We recently rebooted our Twitter account http://www.twitter.com/chancery_daily, but if you were a former follower, you'll have to check out our new digs. (In the intervening years since our last tweet, we have written millions of words on the Delaware Court of Chancery, but we have also been locked out of our old now-defunct account, which was unsurprisingly a similar handle minus one underscore.) 

If you are not yet a subscriber to the Long Form edition, TCD can only wonder: why not? With street cred on Twitter imminently available to all who can profess to know the wonders of the Delaware Court of Chancery, we're your one-stop shop.

With that long and winding preface to weed out possible subscribers who cannot tolerate our linguistic tendencies, we present to you, without further ado in all its 63-pages of glory: The Complaint.

The Long Form will inevitably dig deeper into the minutiae than anyone could possibly hope for, so we leave you tonight wanting more. As former Chancellor and Chief Justice Leo E. Strine, Jr. (now, notably, of Wachtellian stripes) might quip, "[i]f there's something like 'less than zero' outside of Elvis Costello's music, then there is even less reason" to doubt that TCD will give our subscribers much more than they ever could have bargained for.* 

Are you still not a subscriber? Did you know that academics and court personnel can request to subscribe gratis? Go, ahead, hit reply. Although it's very likely that at the moment, we're asleep for the first time in days, after so much time on tenderhooks. We'll be back in a jiffy, don't let it end in dirty looks.
