In another day of pretrial proceedings, Elon Musk has subpoenaed documents from Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) advisers Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) in preparation for an October trial that will determine the outcome of Musk’s $44 billion acquisition bid for Twitter.
According to Bloomberg, Musk’s team is looking for correspondence and documents relating to their evaluation of the proposed merger as well as anything pertaining to negotiations “with or about other potential purchasers of Twitter” aside from Musk.
That is a part of what is turning into a serious search for records and documentation from all sides of the dispute.
Following a deadline on Friday that formally established a five-day trial scheduled for October, Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) issued a barrage of subpoenas and document requests to a large number of prominent Silicon Valley figures, including Musk associates and individuals who had not previously been connected to the deal, investors Chamath Palihapitiya, David Sacks, Steve Jurvetson, Marc Andreessen, Jason Calacanis, and Keith Rabois.
Joe Lonsdale, a friend of Elon Musk, spoke out in response, calling it a “huge harassing fishing expedition.”
