Have enough money and the number of people pretending to take you seriously will skyrocket proportionally.
Tangent here, but I love how the article refers to Twitter as "Twitter (currently known as X)" instead of the other way around
Can we please start using this photo of him for every article?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Twitter employees prevented Elon Musk from violating the company's privacy settlement with the US government, according to Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan.
The access given to outside individuals raised concerns that Twitter (which is currently named X) violated a 2022 settlement with the FTC, which has requirements designed to prevent repeats of previous security failures.
The deposition testimony revealed that in early December 2022, Elon Musk had reportedly directed staff to grant an outside third-party individual "full access to everything at Twitter... No limits at all."
When contacted by Ars, an FTC spokesperson said the agency cannot rule out bringing lawsuits against Musk's social network for violations of the settlement or US law.
"When we heard credible public reports of potential violations of protections for Twitter users' data, we moved swiftly to investigate," the FTC said in a statement today.
In a filing, US government lawyers said the FTC investigation had "revealed a chaotic environment at the company that raised serious questions about whether and how Musk and other leaders were ensuring X Corp.'s compliance with the 2022 Administrative Order."
The original article contains 749 words, the summary contains 181 words. Saved 76%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Twitter employees, please just let him get in trouble.
Because they'd get fired.
Elon, you are a fucking twat.
Grow up.
