Musk, X Holdings I, Inc., and X Holdings II, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”) have agreed to close on the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 25, 2022, and they have moved to stay this action in light of their agreement. Defendants have stated that “the closing is expected on or around October 28, 2022.” 1 Plaintiff Twitter, Inc. opposes the motion on the basis that Defendants’ agreement will not ensure that the transaction closes fast enough. 2
