Twitter has to give Elon Musk only one bot checker’s data: its ex-product head

Twitter Inc doesn’t have to hand over to Elon Musk most of the names of employees he says are key witnesses in their legal battle over his proposed US$44bil (RM196.21bil) purchase of the social media company.

Musk, who has sought to cancel the deal, this month accused Twitter of hiding the names of workers who are specifically responsible for evaluating how much of the platform’s customer base is made up of spam and robot accounts, and asked the judge to force Twitter to identify them. So far Twitter has handed over the names of “records custodians”, who aren’t as familiar with the data at issue.
