Musk’s lawyers argue the payout break the terms of the takeover agreement
(Picture: AP)Twitter has denied its $7.8 million (£6.6 million) payout to a former exec-turned-whistleblower violate the terms of its $44 billion takeover by Elon Musk.
Peiter “Mudge” Zatko, who was Twitter’s head of security until he was fired earlier in the year, alleged the firm doesn’t delete users’ data after they deactivate their accounts, and has cybersecurity policies that expose it to hacking and disinformation by state aggressors.
