Musk’s attorneys informed Twitter on Monday that if the business fails to produce the data he seeks on spam and bogus accounts, he may walk away from the deal.

Twitter has stated that it is still sharing information with Musk. According to sources acquainted with the topic, the “firehose” is a database of all tweets on the platform examined by various factors, such as user devices or profiles of accounts that publish tweets.

According to the sources, Twitter sells this data to social media monitoring firms in the form of its licencing business but wants to give it to Musk for free as part of data exchange. The sources also stated that the firehose does not contain confidential information, such as private details of Twitter users that are not public or how frequently they verify their accounts.

A request for comment from Musk was not immediately returned to Reuters.
