Elon Musk's Legal and Reputation Troubles Escalate with Twitter Woes

A senior Twitter lawyer, Christian Dowell, who was closely involved in the platform's negotiations with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over privacy concerns, has resigned. The FTC launched a probe into Twitter's operations after Elon Musk began mass layoffs that seemed to introduce new security concerns. Meanwhile, Germany's federal office of justice has launched a probe into Twitter's seeming failure to delete or block illegal content in the country. Twitter is also involved in individual arbitration with hundreds, if not thousands, of ex-employees who were not allowed to join a class-action lawsuit over allegedly missing severance payments and lost wages.
