Lawyers for Elon Musk and Twitter discussed a range of issues during a hearing in Delaware Chancery Court over the fate of their stalled $44 billion merger agreement, including the pace and substance of the discovery process, the relevance of a whistleblower complaint and the timing of the trial.
During the first half of the hearing Tuesday, lawyers for each side took turns arguing before Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick over so-called discovery motions, or their various requests for information. They are expected later in the hearing to argue over whether Mr. Musk should be able to add allegations made by a whistleblower, Twitter’s former head of security, Peiter Zatko, to his counterclaims.
