Twitter stock trading has been halted for a while, The Verge reports.

The new report came at a time when a new wealth of text was being exchanged between Musk and Twitter executives such as CEO Parag Agrawal and Jack Dorsey was leaked into the public domain.

Twitter shareholders have already voted to approve Musk’s $44 billion takeover offer.

The vote came as Musk’s lead team was involved in a lawsuit to get out of the deal.

The approval meant Musk and Twitter will move to an October trial in the Delaware Court of Chancery.
