Twitter has been embroiled in a row with Tesla chief Elon Musk who had initially made an offer to buy the company in a $44 billion deal. Musk, however, pulled out of the deal citing fake Twitter accounts which he said weren't reported earlier.

A US judge on Thursday ordered Twitter to surrender more data to Elon Musk on fake accounts while asking the company to hand over data on 9,000 accounts the firm had audited at the end of 2021.

Musk had alleged Twitter hadn't properly disclosed fake data. Twitter dismissed the allegations while launching lawsuits against Musk. Amid the row, whistleblower Peiter Zatko told US authorities that Twitter allegedly issued untrue statements on account numbers.

Zatko accused Twitter of hiding accurate account numbers as it would affect the company's valuation.

Dorsey as the founder of the company will get $978 million if Musk's dealgoes through, however, doubts remain as Twitter's lawyers said Musk could misuse sensitive data even as the judge said Musk's team was ready to treat the data as "highly confidential".
