Musk-Twitter suit: Judge orders both parties to produce more documents

A Delaware judge ordered both Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk to turn over more information to opposing lawyers in their tussle over Musk's agreed-to-then-abandoned USD 44 billion deal to acquire the social platform. Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick on Thursday ordered Twitter to provide Musk's attorneys more data regarding the company's estimates that less than 5 per cent of the accounts on its platform are fake. The judge also rejected Musk's attempts to shield details about analyses he used in his attempt to terminate the deal. That work was done by data scientists who examined live-feed information from Twitter about public user accounts to test the company's daily-user counts. Musk claims that Twitter has failed to provide enough detail about the number of fake accounts on its platform, and argues that up to 30 per cent of Twitter's "monetizable daily active users," or mDAU, could be spam or bot accounts. Twitter says the mDAU metric helps it measure the number of accoun

US securities regulators question Twitter on how it counts fake accounts

U.S. securities regulators are questioning Twitter about how it counts fake accounts on its platform. The Securities and Exchange Commission in June asked the company about its methodology for calculating the false or spam accounts and "the underlying judgments and assumptions used by management. The agency's Division of Corporation Finance made the request in a June 15 letter, shortly before Tesla CEO Elon Musk raised the issue as grounds to back out of a deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion. Such questions can be routine, and it wasn't clear whether the SEC has opened a formal investigation into Twitter's fake accounts.
