Musk's Privacy Violation and Chaotic Environment at X Corp. Prompt Arbitration Push

Elon Musk's decisions and actions as CEO of Twitter after his takeover violated the company's internal policies and likely violated a 2022 government order on data security and privacy, according to depositions from former employees published in a court filing. The filing confirms the Federal Trade Commission's probe into whether Twitter was violating the terms of a settlement related to deceptive user data collection. The FTC began deposing key Twitter employees to determine compliance with the order and found a chaotic environment at the company. Musk's directives and cost-cutting measures compromised data privacy and security, including the launch of Twitter Blue without a required security and privacy review. The government opposes Twitter's request to dismiss the consent agreement and shield Musk from a deposition.
