Elon Musk demands Twitter trial delay over whistleblower concerns

Twitter counters that Musk is using new claims to cover up buyer's remorse as trial over broken deal set to begin next month

A trial over Elon Musk's bid to end his $44bn deal for Twitter should be delayed by several weeks to allow him to investigate a whistleblower's claims about security on the social media platform, Musk's lawyer told a judge on Tuesday.

Doesn't justice demand a few weeks to look into this?" said Musk's lawyer, Alex Spiro, at a hearing in Wilmington, Delaware.
