Elon Musk To DELAY Twitter Deal Over WW3 Concerns..
Welcome back to Tech Recall. Looks like Elon Musk was thinking about pulling out of his deal to buy Twitter way before the issue of spam bot numbers came up. On Tuesday, lawyers representing Musk and Twitter met in court for a hearing to determine whether the claims made by whistleblower Pieter ‘Mudge’ Zatko can be added to Musk’s legal case. ‘Mr. Musk is blaming Twitter for his failing to do customary due diligence,’ said William Savitt, an attorney for Twitter. He urged the judge to prevent Musk from adding whistleblower claims to his lawsuit but said if allowed, the five-day trial should not be delayed.
Savitt read an early May message from Musk to a banker that turned up in the litigation in which the billionaire wrote ‘it won’t make sense to buy Twitter if we’re heading into World War III’. The lawyer argued that it was evidence that Musk was looking for any way out of the deal and his initial claims about bots and fake accounts were merely a pretext to end the deal. In July, Musk said he was terminating his $44 billion deal to buy Twitter as the company misled him and regulators about the true number of spam or bot accounts on the platform. The two sides have sued each other over the deal and were headed to a five-day trial in October. Now, Musk’s lawyers want to delay the trial by several weeks to investigate whistleblower claims about security on the social media platform, Musk’s lawyer told a judge on Tuesday. ‘Doesn’t justice demand a few weeks to look into this?’ said Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro.
