Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Beijing time on the evening of September 7, it is reported that Delaware Chancery Judge Catherine McCormick (Kathaleen McCormick) said today that Musk can cite the revelations of Twitter "whistleblower" Petzatko (Peiter Zatko) as evidence in the case of "Twitter v. Tesla CEO Elon Musk (Elon Musk)", but the trial date of the case cannot be postponed.

On Tuesday, local time, Musk's lawyer asked the judge to postpone the trial by a few weeks because Zatko, the former director of security at Twitter, recently exposed some new content that Musk needed time to investigate.

According to Zatko, Twitter executives do not have enough resources to fully understand the true number of robot accounts on its platform. This means that Twitter has no idea of the true number of robot accounts on its platform, which is the focus of the legal battle between Twitter and Musk. Zatko also said that Twitter CEO Palag Agrawal (Parag Agrawal) also concealed the relevant facts from Musk.

Today, Judge McCormick agreed with Musk to use Zatko's revelations as evidence, but refused to postpone the trial date of the case. "I think even a four-week delay will cause further damage to Twitter," McCormick said. "

McCormick announced at the end of July that the case would be heard from October 17 to 21. In fact, from the beginning, Twitter wanted the court to hear the case "quickly" to avoid the potential risks of an economic downturn and deal shelving.

Initially, Twitter hoped the court would hear the case in September, but the judge decided to hear it in October. As a result, Twitter proposed that the hearing be held on October 10, but Musk requested the court to hear the case from October 17 to 21. Eventually, Twitter accepted the date.
