Elon Musk does not want Twitter: millionaire seeks to cancel purchase and not spend US $ 44,000 million

Elon Musk is no longer interested in buying Twitter. The founder of Tesla would have sent a letter to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to insist on canceling the millionaire acquisition. The tycoon takes as an argument a complaint made by a former employee of the company.

According to Xataka, it is the second letter that Elon Musk sends seeking to terminate the agreement between both parties. The first letter was sent on July 8 and had totally different support from those presented in the latter. What did he say? Here we tell you.

According to the publication, the billionaire is using the statements of Peiter ‘Mudge’ Zatko, former head of Twitter security, who revealed various flaws, such as that the software was not up to date or that the directors hid information about security violations and missing information. protection for data.

“Twitter is extremely lax in several areas of information security (…) If these problems are not corrected, the regulators, the media and the users of the platform will be surprised when they inevitably learn of the serious lack of basic security”, were Zatko’s words.

Let us remember that the first letter from Elon Musk had as arguments (to cancel the purchase) the number of bots that Twitter had, which were much more than those initially indicated. In this second letter, the security problems that were exposed by Zatko are included.

The founder of SpaceX assures that Twitter would have committed “egregious violations” with user data, which would be more than enough reason to cancel the acquisition process of some US $ 44,000 million that had begun in early 2022.

It is worth noting that Twitter and Elon Musk will face each other in a trial that will begin on October 17. In this process, Peiter Zatko, as well as another 100 people, between factions and representatives of various institutions, are called to testify.
