A US judge has ruled that Elon Musk may use new evidence from a Twitter whistleblower in his legal dispute with the social media giant, but refused Musk’s request to delay the upcoming trial.
Musk, who is attempting to cancel a previous deal to acquire Twitter for $44bn, had requested a four-week delay before the start of the trial in October. A judge denied that request on Wednesday, stating that a trial delay could damage Twitter. The trial is set to begin on October 17.
