The case is related to the acquisition of Twitter by Musk for $44 billion from which the entrepreneur later turned away.

Why It Matters: In July, Musk backed out of the deal to purchase the Jack Dorsey-founded social media website citing a material breach of multiple provisions of the agreement.

Specifically, the Tesla CEO said Twitter had repeatedly failed to provide data on monetizable daily active users so he could establish how many users were fake or spam accounts.

Last week, Twitter shareholders voted to approve the buyout by Musk amid the legal imbroglio over the deal. The trial is expected to begin on Oct. 17 if no settlement is reached before that date.

Price Action: On Tuesday, Tesla shares fell 0.4% in the after-hours trading to $307.40 after closing 0.1% lower at $308.73 in the regular session, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
