Elon Musk is back and this time he’s tapping his lawyers to call former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to take the stand. He wants him on the stand because Dorsey knows where the bodies are buried. This is a big development as Musk’s legal team is ramping up their efforts to acquire twitter and coming for all their heads. Wait until you hear why.
Elon Musk is taking no prisoners
The Daily Wire Reports, The legal team for Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk subpoenaed former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey amid the ongoing battle over the social media platform.
As reported by The Verge, Musk has subpoenaed former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who stepped down last year and was replaced by Twitter CTO Parag Agrawal, for documents relating to Twitter’s use of mDAU as a key metric and the impact of false or spam accounts on Twitter’s business and operations.
The legal team representing Musk — who desired to purchase Twitter for the purpose of increasing its commitment to free speech — has argued that the company repeatedly failed to provide accurate information about its user base, precluding the possibility of a complete deal. Recently a whistleblower came forward and claimed that Twitter was in fact misleading Musk about the number of bots on the platform.
Musk is nevertheless required to complete the deal, according to Twitter’s lawsuit it states, “Musk refuses to honor his obligations to Twitter and its stockholders because the deal he signed no longer serves his personal interests.”
According to Dorsey, “I do not believe anyone should own or run Twitter.”. It should be a public good, not a business. “Elon is the only solution I trust for solving the problem of it being a company. It is my trust that he will extend the light of consciousness.”
If the Twitter deal does not come to fruition, Elon Musk floated the idea of starting his own social media platform
As reported by The Daily Wire, Musk explained that he is avoiding an “emergency sale” of Tesla stock in the “hopefully unlikely” event Twitter forces him to sell.
Musk replied with a link to “X.com” when asked whether he would start his own social media platform if the deal is terminated.

It is scheduled for October that the trial will determine the outcome of the acquisition deal.
Calling Dorsey to the stand is a GENIUS move that I’m sure the hacks at twitter never saw coming. If Musk is successful in acquiring Twitter, it would be a major victory for him and could potentially give him even more influence and power than he already has. Only time will tell how this situation plays out, but one thing is for sure: Elon Musk is not going to let the bots win this fight.
