　　Musk asked Twitter for user-related information, but a U.S. judge rejected Musk’s request because the information Musk asked for was too broad. Still, Musk won't get nothing, and he will still get some data.

　　Delaware Court of Chancery Judge Kathaleen McCormick said Musk's request was absurdly broad, involving tens of trillions of data points. No one in their right mind would make such an attempt.

　　On July 8, Musk announced that he would terminate the acquisition because Twitter refused to provide relevant information. The judge believed that most of the data and documents that Musk asked for had been obtained before July 8.

　　The judge ordered Twitter to submit 9,000 sample accounts to Musk, selected from the fourth quarter, to estimate how many spam or bot accounts there are on Twitter. Twitter said the data no longer existed, recreating a burden, and the judge gave Twitter two weeks to make it.

　　"We look forward to reviewing the data that Twitter has hidden for months," Musk's lawyers said in an emailed statement.

　　Twitter said at a hearing on Wednesday that Musk's hold on spam accounts was legally irrelevant because the company had said in regulatory filings that the figures were only estimates and that the true number of spam accounts could be higher.
