In order to support his effort to halt a $44 billion takeover of the firm, Musk has requested further information.

A judge determined that Twitter had already provided enough information about its internal policy on robot and spam accounts as part of the billionaire's legal battle against the business over a botched takeover, and so denied Elon Musk access to new records about the policy. Delaware Chancery Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick said on Friday that Twitter has 'done enough' in providing information pertaining to the so-called mDAU, a statistic used to survey human users of the social media network. In order to support his claim that the company should not be acquired for $44 billion (or about Rs. 3.5 lakh crore), Musk had requested more information.

In preparation for a trial scheduled on October 17 to determine whether the world's richest person has a legal right to walk away from the arrangement, Musk and his attorneys have repeatedly accused Twitter of attempting to conceal critical papers and witnesses.

The billionaire asserts that the business never told him how many spam and bot accounts existed among its more than 230 million customers. Twitter claims that Musk is experiencing buyer's remorse and that his worries are a ruse to back out of a contract.

Additionally, McCormick turned down Musk's request that Twitter personnel carry out additional searches of the files using the terms 'user-active minutes' (UAM) or 'stickiness,' two metrics for how long users stay on the network.

Banks, investors, and advisers engaged in the precarious transaction have received a barrage of subpoenas and requests for depositions from both parties. About six disagreements on document releases and other discovery-related matters have required McCormick to make decisions.

The judge also named retired bankruptcy judge Chris Sontchi as a special master to preside over discovery disagreements. The mediator and judge based in Wilmington, Delaware, Sontchi now sits on the Singapore International Commercial Court.
