Billionaire Musk has spent months alleging that the company he agreed to acquire undercounted its fake and spam accounts.

- Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Twitter lobbed more accusations at each other Tuesday over revelations by a Twitter whistleblower, who has taken center stage in Musk’s effort to back out of an agreement to buy the social media platform for $44 billion.

Twitter has asked the Delaware Chancery Court to force Musk, a billionaire, to go through with the deal. A high-stakes trial is set to start the week of Oct. 17, although Musk is now also seeking to postpone it by a month. Zatko received a subpoena Saturday from Musk’s team compelling him to testify in what Zatko’s lawyers emphasized would be an “involuntary” deposition ahead of the coming courtroom battle between Twitter and Musk.

Musk lawyers are seeking permission from the court to push the trial start back to mid-to-late November.
