8.23 Washington Post story by Faiz Siddiqui, Elizabeth Dwoskin, Cat Zakrzewski and Rachel Lerman: “Former head of security Peiter “Mudge” Zatko [has accused] Twitter of “lying about Bots to Elon Musk” in a whistleblower complaint filed in July with regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post.
“Musk’s team is expected to use the complaint as a basis to argue for wider discovery into Twitter’s internal practices and data, something it could raise as soon as a hearing Wednesday, according to individuals with knowledge of the matter and legal experts who described the implications of such revelations.
“There is an analogy of an airplane. So you go on an airplane and [nearly half of the] passengers and attendant crew members…they all have access to the cockpit, to the controls…that’s entirely unnecessary…[and] it’s too easy to accidentally or intentionally turn the engine off.” — Zatko to CNN.
