Billionaire Elon Musk's tendency to dish out insults while being questioned under oath will be tested anew on Monday, when lawyers for Twitter are due to interview the Tesla CEO about his abrupt decision in July to ditch his $44 billion deal for the social media company.
Testifying in past legal battles, the world's richest person has called opposing attorneys "reprehensible," questioned their happiness and accused them of "extortion." He asked one attorney if he was working on a contingency because the lawyer's client was allegedly behind on child support payments.
"So probably you're on a contingency or you're taking that kid's money. Which is it?" Musk said to a lawyer for a whistleblower in a case against Tesla, according to a transcript of the 2020 deposition.
