A judge in the United States has set an October trial date for the looming legal battle between Twitter and Elon Musk, after the social media giant accused the Tesla CEO of smearing its reputation and lowering its value.The hearing on Tuesday centred on Twitter’s push to set a trial date for as early as September in a case focused on Musk’s attempt to walk away from a $44bn agreement to purchase the company.“The continued uncertainty inflicts harm to Twitter every hour of every day,” said William Savitt, a lawyer for Twitter, at the hearing that was being conducted remotely after the judge, Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick, tested positive on Monday for COVID-19.
