The two parties have been gearing up for an Oct. 17 trial over whether the billionaire had legitimate grounds to torpedo the buyout because of alleged fake user accounts. Musk is scheduled to sit for a deposition on Oct. 6-7 in Austin, Texas. Twitter filed suit in July, saying Musk’s complaints were a pretext to get out of a deal because of buyer’s remorse.
