Papers added to a lawsuit file, Monday, showed that American billionaire Elon Musk requested the summons of a former Twitter official following he filed a complaint once morest the company; This is part of Musk’s effort to gain access to documents and data regarding random accounts and alleged weaknesses in the platform’s security.
The subpoena comes as Musk is locked in a court battle to end a deal he made to buy Twitter for $44 billion.
Musk asked that Peter Zatko provide information, mostly regarding how Twitter calculates random accounts on the platform.
Musk said he is withdrawing from his agreement to buy the company because it misled him and the regulators regarding the true number of random or automated accounts on its short blogging platform.
But Musk is also seeking access to documents and data regarding alleged attempts to hide vulnerabilities in the platform’s security and “Twitter’s involvement in any illegal activity.”
Earlier this year, Zatko, a notorious hacker widely known as “Madge”, terminated his tenure as Twitter’s chief security officer, and said in his letter, which came to light last week, that the company had falsely claimed That she had a tight security plan.
Twitter and Musk exchanged lawsuits. They are heading to a five-day trial that begins on October 17.
Musk is asking to withdraw from the agreement, while Twitter is asking Chancellor Kathleen McCormick, a judge in the Delaware Supreme Court, to rule that he must buy the company for the agreed amount of $ 54.20 per share. The value of the share in “Twitter” slightly decreased in New York, Monday, to $ 40.36.
