Elon Musk, agreed to buy Twitter for $44 billion, earlier this year. The plan was to take the company private and make it into a bastion of free speech. And in July he began trying to back out of the deal. And he wants the Twitter Whistleblower to back him up.
A week after Zatco’s disclosures Elon Musk’s attorneys sent a letter to the SEC claiming this was more evidence that they should be released from the Twitter purchase. The Musk team stands by its charges that there is a vast number of bots and spam accounts that are being counted as active users.
The social media giant responded by filing a lawsuit in Delaware. They are seeking to compel the SpaceX and Tesla CEO to follow through with the acquisition deal.
Then out of nowhere, Petier “Mudge” Zatko, a high-profile hacker and Twitter’s ex-security chief is loudly blowing the Whistle on the mega social media platform.
Twitter Whistleblower complaints
A Musk attorney, Alex Spiro, announced, “We have now already issued a subpoena for Mr. Zatko. We discovered his exit and that of different key workers curious in light of what we got in discovery.”
