The list of people who have received court damages from Twitter includes a number of companies and investors. Some of them are members of PayPal Mafia - a group of influential figures in the technology industry, who used to work at the Payroll company co-founded by Elon Musk.
Specifically, according to court documents, Twitter has filed a lawsuit against Founders Fund - a San Francisco-based company, founded by co-founderunderunderunderunderunderunderunderunderunderunderunderunder Peter Thiel. The social media company is also said to have sent a greeting to investors Joe Lonsdale and David Sacks.
Mr. Lonsdale - co-founder of Palatir and a former payroll employee - stated in a tweet that Twitter's act of sending a summons to court has harassed him.
Sacks, a former payroll CEO and founder of Yammer, responded by posting a magazine cover photo of his middle finger on it.
In addition, Twitter also sent a petition to AH Capital Investments, a financial company that agreed to provide equity for the deal. Elon Musk's two companies, Tesla and SpaceX, also received similar bribes.
Observers say that Twitter sent a summons to investors and employees of Elon Musk to try to determine the time and reason for Tesla's withdrawal from the deal.
Charles Elson, founding director of the Weinberg Center for Enterprise Management at the University of Delaware, said: Twitter is trying to verify Elon Musks story.
Was he really scammed? Is he really interested in the information provided by Twitter, or is it just a strategy to withdraw from the deal?.
