A Delaware judge on Wednesday denied Elon Musk's request to delay his trial with Twitter over their $44 billion acquisition deal after a former top executive alleged the company has serious security vulnerabilities

A Delaware judge on Wednesday denied Elon Musk’s request to delay his trial with Twitter over their $44 billion acquisition deal after a former top executive alleged the company has serious security vulnerabilities. However, Musk’s team will be allowed to add arguments based on the former executive’s whistleblower disclosure to its case arguing the Tesla CEO should be allowed to walk away from the deal. The trial is set to run for five days starting October 17.

The company’s lawyers painted Zatko, who was fired from Twitter in January, as a disgruntled former employee whose disclosure came at a convenient time for Musk. “Mr. Musk says he has a claim but what he really has is a disgruntled ally,” Twitter lawyer William Savitt said. Savitt added that Musk’s motion to delay the trial and update his complaint appear to be part of an ongoing strategy by the billionaire’s team to drag out the proceedings to the continued detriment of the company.

Delaware? Hmm Who could influence that I wonder?

Trump stole nuclear documents so top secret that they can only be viewed by a cabinet-level official. Trump is an American spy.
