A lawyer for Twitter said a whistleblower who claims the company responded inadequately to spam and bot accounts never raised those concerns when he was employed at the social media platform.

A lawyer for Twitter Inc. said a whistleblower who claims the company responded inadequately to spam and bot accounts never raised those concerns when he was employed at the social media platform.

The judge didn’t rule on the request, or Musk’s bid to push back an Oct. 17 trial date to early December. For the first time Tuesday, Twitter’s attorneys specifically disputed Zatko’s assertions he raised such questions while at the company. They noted addressing the bots issue wasn’t a part of his “portfolio” while he oversaw computer-security issues.

The current October trial date is not “remotely achievable,” Musk’s lawyer Andrew Rossman told the judge, saying there have been unreasonable delays in information exchanges.
