Elon Musk is being investigated by federal authorities in relation to his $44bn acquisition of Twitter, the social media giant said in a court filing.
The social media giant is requesting access to documents handed over to authorities by the Tesla CEO’s lawyers
Twitter said it had requested documents that Mr Musk’s lawyers had handed over to federal authorities but they had not done so. The company asked a Delaware judge to order the lawyers to provide the documents, the Reuters news agency reported. It is not clear which federal agencies are carrying out the investigation, or if there is any such investigation.
In late September, Musk’s lawyers provided a “privilege log” identifying documents to be withheld from discovery. The log referenced drafts of a 13 May email to the US Securities and Exchange Commission and a slide presentation to the Federal Trade Commission, Twitter said.
