NEW YORK, United States - A US judge suspended litigation on Elon Musk's proposed $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, giving the parties until Oct.28 to close the deal.
Delaware Judge Kathaleen McCormick halted action in the case, and said a trial originally scheduled to begin in 11 days could be rescheduled for November if the transaction does not close by the October 28 deadline.
