My guess is that the Court picks a date in between what each party has requested. I do think it'll be closer to Twitter's proposed date than Musk's.

That said, I read both filings and thought Musk made a good argument that because the "drop dead date" specifically extends in the case of a legal dispute that both parties INTENDED that there was no need to rush a hearing beyond when financing expires. Where he goes wrong, I think, is his expectation of being owed significant discovery. Either this is a fishing expedition to find a justification after-the-fact, or else his briefing didn't outline key evidence of fraud that he's saving for later. My guess is the former, but we will see.

So I think we go a bit beyond the drop-dead date, but not much more because I don't think the judge wants a drawn-out process.
