US says Elon Musk should not be immune to testifying about the former Twitter.

The Hindu  

The US government says the former Twitter's request to end oversight of its data privacy and security practices is “meritless” and owner Elon Musk should not be immune to testifying about the company since he has “first-hand knowledge” of the conduct being investigated. The company's July filing seeks relief from the consent order, saying that the FTC's investigation has “spiralled out of control”. The FTC heard from five former X employees during its investigation, who “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 consent order. For instance, Twitter's former director of security engineering, Andrew Sayler, testified that he had “ongoing questions about Elon's commitment to the overall security and privacy of the organisation” because “the manner in which Elon was requesting us to grant access to third parties that had not undergone our regular vetting process struck” Sayler as “having some degree of disregard for the overall sensitivity and security at that level of access”, according to the filing.
