Twitter subpoenas associates of Elon Musk in preparation for lawsuit

Twitter issued a number of subpoenas to associates of Elon Musk to gather more information ahead of a lawsuit against the Tesla CEO for backing out of a deal to purchase the social media platform.

One subpoena, obtained by The Washington Post and issued Monday, requests information on “checklists, timelines, presentations, decks, organizational calls, meetings, notes, recordings” related to Mr. Musk’s deal to purchase Twitter.

Those subpoenaed are also asked to provide any information regarding the discussion of bots and spam.

The individuals named in the legal request are some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley, including investors Marc Andreessen, David Sacks, Jason Calacanis and venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya.
