According to court filings, Musk and Agrawal were scheduled to sit for the deposition at two different law offices on September 26.
CEO Agrawal may probably reschedule his deposition for sometime later this week. It is uncertain when and where Musk’s deposition will be held again, if at all.
The lawsuit is scheduled to have its official 5-day trial on October 17. Musk alleges that Twitter deceived him by not disclosing the authenticity of its user base, pointing to bot and spam accounts.
Meanwhile, Twitter denied the allegations and stated that Musk is making false claims as an excuse to walk out of the deal.
