If you've ever run analytics at even a mid-sized company (let alone large, where it's even more critical to keep this stuff), getting daily mDAU is trivial and you'd have to have a grossly irresponsible data policy to be unable to pull that.

Nobody worth their wage drops data that aggressively unless they are compelled by law.

I dont have enough experience in analytics to know what data points would be full fidelity vs rollup. I'm just stating that theres no guarantee they even have the data to service his requests, and I dont believe they were under any existing obligation to maintain it before Musk got involved.
