Twitter was obliged to provide the documents of the former top manager Kayvon Bakpur to Ilon Musk’s team because of a dispute about the number of bots on the platform.
The court ordered Twitter to provide Ilon Musk documents from the former top manager of the social network, who was a key figure in calculating the number of fake accounts on the platform.
Specifically, the company was ordered to collect, review and provide documents from former consumer products CEO Kayvon Bakpour.
Bakpour left Twitter after the company agreed to a deal with Musk in April. Musk’s court documents described him as one of the executives most closely associated with identifying the number of spam accounts.
As the agency notes, the bots and spam accounts have become a central issue in the court battle over whether Musk should complete his $44 billion purchase of Twitter.
Twitter previously sued Ilon Musk over the billionaire’s refusal to buy the $44 billion social network.
On May 13, in his Twitter account, Elon Musk expressed doubts about the authenticity of the data published in the report of the company. The billionaire was confused by the number of bots voiced in it. According to internal statistics, they are less than 5%.
He suspended the agreement, stating in his official account that he had put it on pause until the figures from the Twitter Inc. report would be confirmed.
In July, Elon Musk said he was ending his agreement with Twitter.
