musk: Elon Musk set to depose before Twitter lawyers ahead of October trial
The deposition is slated for September 26-27 and may run into September 28 if needed, according to court filings, reports Benzinga.
The deposition, ahead of the full-blown October 17 legal trial in the Delaware Court of Chancery in the US, will not be a public one.
Earlier, in a minor win for Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a US court allowed his legal team to make a case that a USD7.75 million severance payment to Peiter 'Mudge' Zatko, Twitter's former head of security, allows him to terminate the USD44 billion takeover deal.

Musk has said that the testimony of Twitter whistleblower justifies his termination of the USD44 billion deal to buy the micro-blogging platform.
Twitter shareholders had voted to approve the buyout by Musk amid the legal battle.
