Twitter were due to be caught with Elon Musk's representatives arguing that he should be forced to buy the company. Shortly before this was due to happen last week, Elon Musk turned around and said, actually you know what, I'll buying the company. A judge in Delaware has given Musk until the 28th of October to do just that. And if he doesn't complete the takeover by then, he'll be back in court with Twitter trying to force him to do something that he now says he wants to do. Dan O'Brien: The whole situation is vastly entertaining from a journalistic point of view. But there are numerous scenarios where this could really drag on for some time.
