Musk’s legal team is trying to leverage the allegations made by former Twitter security chief Peiter Zatko last week to defend Musk’s attempt to walk away from his $44 billion takeover bid.
Musk’s lawyers on Monday filed a subpoena for Zatko, asking for “documents and communications” regarding a number of the alleged wrongdoings Zatko claims, including “Twitter’s tracking and measurement of user engagement.”…
