Elon Musk’s attorneys bring newly revealed Twitter whistleblower complaint before judge
The hearing Wednesday, in Delaware Chancery Court, concerned the ability of Musk’s team to demand information about Twitter’s internal practices and data. The judge previously ruled against Musk’s team when it sought to collect information from more than 20 company leaders. One of those leaders that Musk’s team had requested information from was Zatko. But the judge turned the request down, raising the possibility that Musk’s side will use the new revelations to revisit the request.
He also noted that some of the Musk team’s requests “explicitly seek private data” that the company was not willing to give away, including user IP addresses, phone numbers and information about users’ locations. “We are the would-be buyer here and we don’t even know what exists,” Spiro said of the data he alleged Twitter is stonewalling. “It puts us at a huge disadvantage.”has been engaging in deception around its user numbers for a long time. He argued that Twitter’s growth was flattening for years, and that the company changed how it calculated its user numbers in 2019 to create the appearance of more growth.
Meanwhile, Wilson argued against turning over private data to Musk’s team, citing user privacy concerns and the fears if such information “fell into the wrong hands.”
