Elon Musk’s attempts to terminate a privacy settlement that Twitter/X made with the Federal Trade Commission before his takeover of the company could cause him more headaches, as government attorneys released a legal filing on Tuesday—the same day a massive new biography on Musk from Steve Jobs biographer Walter Isaacson was released and dominated headlines.
The filing not only urged the court to deny the request, but claimed Musk should be forced to testify about his leadership of the company, based on depositions from several high-ranking ex-Twitter "key data privacy and security executives," including Damien Kieran, chief privacy officer, Lea Kissner, chief information officer, and Andrew Sayler, director of security engineering.
