Elon Musk served former Twitter boss Jack Dorsey with a court order to provide a whole series of documents, as part of the battle he launched to get out of the social network’s $44 billion takeover deal.
According to documents made public Monday, Jack Dorsey was ordered to give Elon Musk any records or communications related to the acquisition deal made in April, as well as any information about fake accounts or how Twitter calculates the number of its active users.
The social network “fraud”?
This is all the documents available on these topics at Jack Dorsey as of January 2019. Jack Dorsey resigned as CEO of Twitter in November.
Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, had signed a $44 billion deal to buy the social network, before unilaterally breaking it up in early July.
He believes that Twitter lied about the proportion of automated and spam accounts on its platform, and even claims that the social network “frauds” by deliberately increasing the number of monetizable accounts. The social network says that spam alone represents less than 5% of users.
As soon as the acquisition deal fell apart, Twitter sued Jack Musk to force him to keep his promise. Elon Musk counterattacked, with a complaint in which he asks the justice to release him from the agreement and order Twitter to pay him damages.
