"Sometimes Twitter has ignored Mr Musk's requests, sometimes it has rejected them for reasons that appear to be unjustified, and sometimes it has claimed to comply while giving Mr Musk incomplete or unusable information," they said in a statement.
Last month, Twitter said that it was making a"fire hose" of raw data on hundreds of millions of daily tweets available to Mr Musk. For years, the company has said in regulatory filings that it believes around 5% of the accounts on its platform are fake. Mr Musk has also claimed that Twitter broke the acquisition agreement when it fired two top managers and laid off a third of its talent-acquisition team.SpaceX and Tesla chief has clashed with Donald TrumpThe first salvo in the spat appears to have been some less than positive comments about the Tesla boss that Mr Trump made at a rally in Anchorage, Alaska on Saturday."I said I didn't know that; he told me he voted for me.
Musk replied on Twitter, saying:"I don't hate the man, but it's time for Trump to hang up his hat and sail into the sunset."
