Elon Musk Cites Whistleblower as Another Reason to End His $44 Billion Twitter Deal

High Risk: Addresses flagged as high risk indicate a strong association with suspicious activity and potential involvement in fraudulent schemes. Caution is advised when dealing with such addresses.
Suspicious: Addresses classified as suspicious may have some indicators of potential risks. Although not necessarily indicative of illicit activities, it is advisable to exercise caution and further scrutiny when engaging with these addresses.
Medium Risk: Addresses labeled as medium risk suggest a moderate level of potential risk. While not as alarming as high-risk addresses, it is still prudent to proceed with caution.
Low Risk: Addresses categorized as low risk indicate minimal or negligible potential risk, providing a higher level of confidence in their legitimacy.

Elon Musk continues to seek evidence that would help him avoid buying Twitter for $44 billion, the price he offered back in April.

New claims against the platform have come up from Twitter’s ex Head of security Peiter Zatko. The whistleblower reported social media’s shortcomings related to the privacy and security of users’ personal data. As a result, Elon Musk has filed another notice citing Zatko’s allegations as additional reasons to terminate the Twitter deal.

Twitter has denied Zatko’s accusations and once again called Musk’s attempt to scrap the deal “invalid and wrongful.” Both Elon Musk and Twitter’s legal team have subpoenaed the whistleblower. The new claims might play a key role in determining the fate of the Twitter-Musk deal during the trial which is to start on October 17.

Following the news, Twitter shares have dipped by 1%.

Dogecoin, which is known to react to Elon Musk’s movements, has dropped by almost 3% in the last 24 hours.
