Elon Musk on Tuesday asked for a postponement to November of the trial on the Twitter purchase agreement.
Musk and Twitter are at the center of a dispute in the Delaware court and a five-day trial is scheduled to begin on October 17.
Twitter wants the court to order Musk to close the purchase of the company for the agreed upon amount of about $44 billion, while Musk seeks to leave the transaction without paying a $1 billion fine, alleging that Twitter breached the contract.
Musk asked the judge for permission for the two sides to continue presenting their cases until Nov. 10, before a conference to discuss what evidence could be presented at the trial. The businessman said a trial could begin later that month “subject to court availability.”
Musk sued Twitter in July and accused the company of fraud for allegedly misleading him about the amount of bot accounts on the social network.
A document released on Tuesday revealed that Musk sent an additional termination letter to Twitter, to include a recent whistleblower from a former security chief at the company as one of the reasons for pulling out of the deal.
