Twitter paid $7 million to a whistleblower to hide the flaws!!!


Elon Musk, chairman of the legendary electric car Tesla, was about to buy twitter, but then his deal was canceled. Elon Musk has been a constant attacker on twitter since the cancellation of this deal. Now Elon Musk's lawyer Alex Spiro has claimed that twitter paid $7 million to a whistleblower to hide the flaws in the company.


It is worth noting that twitter has filed a legal case against Musk for failing to complete the nearly $ 44 billion deal to buy Twitter. Due to this, now Elon Musk has constantly made serious allegations against the management of twitter and has accused him of paying bribes to hide the shortcomings.

According to a Bloomberg report, Elon Musk's lawyer has told that this whistleblower is Peiter Zatko, the former security chief of Twitter. There are reports that the company had prevented him from publicly reporting on some problems. 

Elon Musk has been allowed to use claims made by Zatko in a hearing against twitter in October. Musk believes that twitter misreported the number of fake accounts on its platform. Because of this, he has decided not to buy the company and he was hiding many information from the world as well.


However, twitter also has a different side in this matter. Company lawyers have questioned Zatko's credibility. The company's lawyers have argued that the allegations leveled by them may have been due to their resentment against the company as they were removed from Twitter. Spiro says that instead of quietly leaving the company with the money, Zatko also contacted the US congress about his complaint against Twitter.

After Musk announced that he broke the deal with twitter in July, a big controversy had come to the fore. twitter has filed a lawsuit against Musk regarding this. Musk wants to get out of this deal, but twitter has asked the court to order Musk to buy the company for a fixed amount.
