Twitter plans to comply with Musk’s demands for data

Maybe he simply smells that Twitter, like many companies, have been downplaying the problem of fake accounts for years and has enough clout to try and force the truth into the open. Maybe he wants a discount but maybe he just doesn't want to buy a company if the real number is 20% fake instead of 5%.

The fact that Twitter seem to have tried to stonewall him will just "prove" to him that he is right and he can afford to be stubborn enough to drag this out.

That may be, but it's not part of the contract, and it's very unlikely to materially impact the future revenue of Twitter to a high enough degree that it would be a breach of the signed contract, so all he would be doing is assisting the dirty laundry of his new company in public.
