Musk’s lawyer pleads with the judge to have the Twitter hearing delayed
Elon Musk’s lawyer pleads with the judge to have the Twitter hearing delayed, asks for investigation into whistleblower’s claims
Elon Musk’s lawyer has urged the court to delay the Twitter trial, so a whistleblower’s claims can be investigated. The case surrounds Musk’s desire to distance himself from his $44 billion without having to pay a termination fee.
The billionaire’s representation has requested a delay of several weeks, with the whistleblower claiming the Twitter platform has serious security deficiencies.
Musk’s acquisition of the social media giant had cracks in it from day one. The Tesla boss asked Twitter execs to produce information around the number of bots and false accounts on the platform almost immediately after announcing his intention to buy.
Do the whistleblower’s claims stack up?
New information shared by Twitter’s former Head of Security, Peiter Zatko, claims the platform lacks robust data security processes. This helped to support Musk’s reluctance to continue with the purchase.
But current Twitter execs have slammed Zatko’s claims as false. They also accused Musk of grasping at any information possible to back out of their agreement without paying the fee.
Observing this entire situation, it was clear from the beginning that Musk rushed the purchase announcement. He failed to complete the due diligence required for an acquisition of such significant proportions.
The announcement was accompanied by bold claims surrounding what Musk would change on the platform, once he became the owner.
The initial media coverage generated by these announcements was astronomical. But once this eased, it became clear that Musk was beginning to stall the acquisition process – and his list of requirements from Twitter grew, in line with his reluctance follow through.
Now that Musk wants out, he is trying anything to walk away from the deal with as little cost to him as possible. Musk and the purchase of Twitter may be the most expensive impulse buy in history.
