“You are requested to produce all documents described below which are in your possession, custody, or control or are otherwise available to you,” the subpoena says, as shared by The Verge.

Why It’s Important: Dorsey is the co-founder and former CEO of Twitter. Dorsey served as CEO of the company on two occasions, most recently leading the company from 2015 to 2021 before handing control over to current CEO Parag Agrawal.

The subpoena comes as Musk scored a potential small victory in Judge Kathaleen McCormick giving Musk and his legal team access to information from Twitter’s former head of product Kayvon Beykpour.

Dorsey previously tweeted support for Musk buying Twitter and joining the board of directors. 

“In principle, I don’t believe anyone should own or run Twitter. It wants to be a public good at a protocol level, not a company. Solving for the problem of it being a company however, Elon is the singular solution I trust,” Dorsey tweeted.

Musk has posted praise of Dorsey since announcing the acquisition.

“I’m a fan of Jack btw. Wish he would stay on the board, but I understand that he needs to move on,” Musk tweeted.
