WILMINGTON, Del, July 26 (Reuters) – Elon Musk asked a judge to schedule a five-day trial beginning Oct. 17, not Oct. 10 as requested by Twitter Inc (TWTR.N), to resolve his bid to walk away from his $44 billion deal to acquire the social media platform, according to a court filing on Tuesday.
A lawyer for Musk, the world's richest person, said he was writing to ask the judge to “break the impasse to allow things to move forward promptly.”
The Musk letter also asked the judge to order Twitter to immediately produce what it called “core documents,” require Twitter to produce all raw data by Aug. 1 and require the company to produce documents within 18 days of a request.
Musk accused Twitter of refusing to immediately provide documents such as manuals and policies regarding active daily user calculations and artificial intelligence and “all items in the data room.”
