ATTORNEYS AT LAW
Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2 and the supporting Declaration of Christopher J. Boran in
Support of the Joint Stipulation to Shorten Time on X Corp.’s Motion to Intervene Under Rule 24
(“Boran Decl.”), Lead Plaintiffs Nancy Price, John Garrett, and Brian Belgrave (“Plaintiffs”),
Defendant Elon Musk (“Defendant”), and Proposed Intervenor X Corp. (“X Corp.”) (Plaintiffs,
Defendant, and X Corp. shall collectively be referred to as the “Parties”), by and through their
undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate as follows:
WHEREAS, Plaintiffs’ Trial Witness List filed with this Court on January 27, 2026, as
Appendix 2 of the Joint [Proposed] Final Pre-Trial Order [Dkt. 358], discloses that Plaintiffs plan
to present testimony at trial from certain former Twitter employees, executives, directors, and legal
counsel, including: (1) former CEO Parag Agrawal, (2) former CFO Ned Segal; (3) former Chief
Legal Officer Vijaya Gadde; (4) former General Counsel Sean Edgett; (5) former Head of Trust &
Safety Yoel Roth; (6) former M&A Integration lead Stacey Fix Conti; former Board members (7)
Egon Durban, (8) Brett Taylor, and (9) Jack Dorsey; and former outside legal counsel (10) Martin
Korman, (11) William Savitt, and (12) Katie Martin.
WHEREAS, Defendant Musk is the Chairman of X Corp., formerly Twitter, Inc.
WHEREAS, X Corp. believes that the scope of anticipated testimony that Plaintiffs have
disclosed for each of the above witnesses will implicate Twitter’s attorney-client privileged
communications and work product from 2022.
WHEREAS, such privileged information now belongs to X Corp. as a result of the 2022
merger and the express terms of the April 25, 2022 Merger Agreement.
WHEREAS, X Corp. has filed a Motion To Intervene Under Rule 24 (“Motion to
Intervene”) for the limited purpose of protecting X Corp.’s privileged information in connection
with the upcoming trial.
WHEREAS, Defendant Musk consents to X Corp.’s Motion to Intervene.
WHEREAS, Plaintiffs do not believe their questioning of witnesses will elicit privileged
information, believe that any participation by X Corp. at or in connection with trial will unduly
complicate the proceedings, and oppose X Corp.’s Motion to Intervene.
