Twitter strikes back, asked for all of Elon Musk’s text messages

Until now, Elon Musk has repeatedly demanded, from the judge in the case, that Twitter hand over information about data such as spam accounts or bots on the platform. However, now it is the turn for the social network. The company asked the judge to require Musk to hand over all of his text messages.

The reason is as simple as it is curious. It turns out that the company presumes that Elon Musk did not act in good faith and was not cooperating in the exchange of evidence in the trial that is being carried out for the purchase of 44 billion dollars. The order was presented this Friday before the court handling the case in Delaware and was also attached to a request for sanctions against Musk and his lawyers.

The company’s goal is for Musk to deliver all his text messages from January 1 to July 18 of this year. But the requests do not end there, Twitter also wants text messages delivered, during the same period of time, from Musk’s main assistant, Jared Birchall.

The lawyers in charge of handling the case on behalf of Twitter consider that Elon Musk has not acted correctly to advance in the process of exchanging information that must be fulfilled before starting the trial. A spokesman for Musk’s lawyers, Eric Herman, did not respond to requests made via email or calls seeking his position on Twitter’s sanctions request to the judge.

Although the sanctions petition was filed under seal, some of the details are available to all through the public order that was remitted to Delaware court records. The importance of the request for these text messages lies in the fact that, apparently, they would contain several secrets about the failed purchase process. The focus of the company’s lawyers is on the possibility of obtaining material related to the lawsuit during a “relevant period” that they did not specify.
