Lawyers for Tesla titans Elon Musk and Martin Eberhard go head-to-head in court tomorrow when the EV company and CEO Musk asks a judge to toss out the lawsuit ousted co-founder Eberhard filed in May.

----------
There's no bromance here as Elon Musk, left, and Martin Eberhard, right, prepare to face-off in court.

Eberhard, you'll recall from Chapter 1 of this saga, is alleging that he's been slandered by Musk, that Musk is improperly calling himself a Tesla Motors founder and that his ouster and subsequent events constitute a breach of contract by Tesla.


For their part, Musk and Tesla maintain the Eberhard's suit is groundless and a thinly disguised effort to force Musk to stop publicly criticizing Eberhard's leadership.


Meantime, some analysts are worrying that the feud is grabbing all the headlines and overshadowing Tesla's electric roadster and development plans for the Tesla S sedan.


We'll keep you informed as the war of the egos wages on.
