As Twitter and Elon Musk prepare for their October 17th<\/a> trial date in the Delaware Court of Chancery to argue over his attempt to break their $44 billion acquisition agreement<\/a>, Musk\u2019s legal team submitted a subpoena for evidence from a familiar face: former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dorsey stepped down as Twitter CEO<\/a> for the second time last November and handed control of the company he helped create to Parag Agrawal<\/a>. He\u2019s running Square and Block and, reportedly<\/a>, egging on Musk\u2019s attempt to buy Twitter in private messages.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s tough to say what information Dorsey has that Musk couldn\u2019t obtain by just texting him! But with billions of dollars on the line, Musk\u2019s legal team is casting out all lines to support his (weak) argument <\/a>the company is not telling the truth about measurements of bots and spam among the daily active users on its platform. The subpoena<\/a> lists what information Dorsey is being asked for:<\/p>\n

\n

1. Documents and Communications regarding the Merger and the transaction contemplated by the Merger, the Merger Agreement, any potential acquisition or transaction between Defendants and Twitter, Defendants\u2019 potential or actual acquisition of shares of Twitter common stock, Defendants\u2019 potential membership on the Twitter Board, and Documents and Communications otherwise regarding Twitter and any of Defendants. <\/p>\n

2. Documents and Communications reflecting, referring to, or relating to the impact or effect of false or spam accounts on Twitter\u2019s business and operations. <\/p>\n

3. Documents and Communications reflecting, referring to, or relating to Twitter\u2019s use of mDAU as a \u201cKey Metric,\u201d as noted in Twitter\u2019s SEC filings, including Documents and Communications reflecting, referring to, or relating to the relationship between mDAU and Twitter\u2019s present or future revenue or EBITDA. <\/p>\n

4. Documents and Communications reflecting, referring to, or relating to Twitter\u2019s use of any other user metric other than mDAU, including but not limited to, daily active users, monthly active users, daily user engagement, monthly user engagement, or advertisement engagements. <\/p>\n

5. Documents and Communications describing any process or workflow, other than the mDAU Audit and the suspension workflow, that Twitter uses, has used, or has discussed or considered using to detect and label accounts as spam or false. <\/p>\n

6. Documents reflecting business plans or analyses for achieving mDAU targets. <\/p>\n

7. Documents and Communications relating to incorporating mDAU into executive or director compensation, including but not limited to any annual compensation targets, bonus pools, incentive plans, or performance-based restricted stock units.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A recent ruling by Judge Kathaleen McCormick also gave Musk\u2019s team access to information from the former Twitter head of product Kayvon Beykpour<\/a>, and in a separate filing today, Musk\u2019s team subpoenaed the other Twitter exec Agrawal fired on the same day as Beykpour<\/a>, Bruce Falck.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
