Twitter Inc.’s legal team believes that the social media company’s lawsuit against Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk could be wrapped up very quickly. According to the social media company’s lawyers, they need just four days in Delaware Chancery Court to prove that Elon Musk should purchase Twitter at the agreed-upon price of $54.20 per share. 

“Litigation on the schedule Twitter proposes permits the parties and their experienced counsel ample time to assemble a trial record,” Twitter’s lawyers noted. 

Following a long dispute with Twitter’s bot data, Musk announced that he is pulling out of his $44 billion acquisition of the social media platform. In response, Twitter Board Chairman Bret Taylor noted that the company will be pursuing legal action to enforce Musk’s buyout. Taylor also mentioned that Twitter is confident that it could prevail in court. The lawsuit against Musk was filed on Tuesday. 

Twitter’s legal team is hoping to start the non-jury case against Elon Musk on September 19. If Twitter’s lawyers could indeed prevail against Musk in four days, this should already provide enough time for a judge to rule and have the Delaware Supreme Court review the ruling before October 24, the closing date for the transaction. This is an extremely optimistic stance for Twitter’s legal team. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, for one, noted that Musk and Twitter’s legal battle could be long and arduous

That being said, Twitter’s legal team may be correct in the idea that the Delaware Chancery Court could move pretty fast in the social media company’s case against Elon Musk. As noted in a Bloomberg report, Chancery judges, which are known to be well-versed in business law, have been able to parse through the legal thickets of complex merger and acquisition disputes very quickly in the past. Some complex business cases are often argued before a judge within six or seven months of their filing.

Elon Musk and his lawyers have not issued a response to Twitter’s lawsuit yet, though the CEO has posted a number of comments and memes about the matter on Twitter. Musk has, for example, joked that by taking him to court, Twitter would likely end up telling the truth about its bot data anyway, which is what he has been asking for ever since the company stood by its estimates that less than 5% of its users were fake or spam accounts. 

So far, a judge has not been assigned to the Twitter vs. Elon Musk case, though Chief Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick is speculated to potentially pick up the dispute, especially considering her experience with investor suits.

Tesla’s Giga Nevada has reached an impressive milestone, producing its 6 millionth drive unit as 2925 came to a close.

To celebrate the milestone, the Giga Nevada team gathered for a celebratory group photo. 

6 million drive units

The achievement was shared by the official Tesla Manufacturing account on social media platform X. “Congratulations to the Giga Nevada team for producing their 6 millionth Drive Unit!” Tesla wrote. 

The photo showed numerous factory workers assembled on the production floor, proudly holding golden balloons that spelled out “6000000″ in front of drive unit assembly stations. Elon Musk gave credit to the Giga Nevada team, writing, “Congrats on 6M drive units!” in a post on X.

Giga Nevada’s essential role

Giga Nevada produces drive units, battery packs, and energy products. The facility has been a cornerstone of Tesla’s scaling since opening, and it was the crucial facility that ultimately enabled Tesla to ramp the Model 3 and Model Y. Even today, it serves as Tesla’s core hub for battery and drivetrain components for vehicles that are produced in the United States.

Giga Nevada is expected to support Tesla’s ambitious 2026 targets, including the launch of vehicles like the Tesla Semi and the Cybercab. Tesla will have a very busy 2026, and based on Giga Nevada’s activities so far, it appears that the facility will be equally busy as well.

Tesla’s Supercharger Network had its biggest year ever in 2025, delivering a record 6.7 TWh of electricity to vehicles worldwide. 

To celebrate its busy year, the official @TeslaCharging account shared an infographic showing the Supercharger Network’s growth from near-zero in 2012 to this year’s impressive milestone.

Record 6.7 TWh delivered in 2025

The bar chart shows steady Supercharger energy delivery increases since 2012. Based on the graphic, the Supercharger Network started small in the mid-2010s and accelerated sharply after 2019, when the Model 3 was going mainstream. 

Each year from 2020 onward showed significantly more energy delivery, with 2025’s four quarters combining for the highest total yet at 6.7 TWh.

This energy powered millions of charging sessions across Tesla’s growing fleet of vehicles worldwide. The network now exceeds 75,000 stalls globally, and it supports even non-Tesla vehicles across several key markets. This makes the Supercharger Network loved not just by Tesla owners but EV drivers as a whole.

Resilience after Supercharger team changes

2025’s record energy delivery comes despite earlier 2024 layoffs on the Supercharger team, which sparked concerns about the system’s expansion pace. Max de Zegher, Tesla Director of Charging North America, also highlighted that “Outside China, Superchargers delivered more energy than all other fast chargers combined.”

Longtime Tesla owner and FSD tester Whole Mars Catalog noted the achievement as proof of continued momentum post-layoffs. At the time of the Supercharger team’s layoffs in 2024, numerous critics were claiming that Elon Musk was halting the network’s expansion altogether, and that the team only remained because the adults in the room convinced the juvenile CEO to relent.

Such a scenario, at least based on the graphic posted by the Tesla Charging team on X, seems highly implausible.
