PlainSite archives extensive documentation of and has controversial involvements with litigious matters concerning Facebook[8], Tesla[9], and Elon Musk[10] specifically. In particular, the site's republishing of unsealed documents regarding Tesla's acquisition of SolarCity was noted by multiple publications[11],[12]; Greenspan has disclosed his ownership of put options against Tesla's stock.[13] The website previously collected legal documents via the Free Law Project's RECAP archive until the archive adopted a fee-based approach.[7]
