Twitter Subpoenas Tesla Documents on Musk-Twitter Lawsuit—But Why?

Twitter is now looking for new things to investigate in the lawsuit that it filed in the Delaware court.

It recently issued a subpoena on Tesla documents that have information regarding its CEO's plans to purchase the company.

It may be a highly unusual thing to do for Twitter, but it is looking into all the angles that it would use against Musk for the case on his purchase regarding the social media's purchase for $44 billion.

There is a new development on the Twitter-Musk lawsuit that would ask for new documents from their company, Tesla, regarding the talks or any other information regarding the supposed purchase. According to The Verge, Twitter is asking for new documents and now raised a subpoena for the documents, including that of their talks with Larry Ellison from Oracle.

Twitter's lawsuit that it filed in a Delaware court is one of the most significant issues that Musk is facing now, and this is for the CEO's retraction of its original plans to purchase the social media company.

Tesla's involvement here is still unknown, especially if it has massive effects on Musk's party and fight against Twitter, but it is still what the social media company asks for using the subpoena it filed.

What is Twitter Looking for in Tesla Documents?

Twitter is looking for additional evidence regarding the information that Tesla supposedly owns or has that would help in the case's progression against the tech billionaire. There are 27 documents in question that Twitter asks for in its subpoena filed earlier this week, including Tesla's internal documents that contain information in the supposed deal.

Twitter and Elon Musk's Dealings

Earlier this year, there was a supposed purchase of Twitter, and the company took a while to decide on it, handing over the company to Elon Musk for $44 billion that would bring it on new ownership. There are many promises here, and it includes the privatization of Twitter, which would help it express a free platform for all users.

Musk's promises on Twitter talk about many changes in the platform, and one of the very first is its supposed edit button for tweets that would change accessibility for users. However, this is not the most significant change for Twitter in the platform, rather focus on making the company private for several years to change many things before making it public again in three years.

The dispute started with bots and several things that it did not disclose in the initial documents that Twitter handed over to Musk's camp, and it made the CEO steer away from the deal. Now, there is a lawsuit against Elon Musk and Tesla is the latest company to get involvement here, with Twitter fishing for new information to use against the other party.
