Elon Musk should not be immune to testifying about former Twitter: US

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. This includes decisions he made since acquiring the company including mass layoffs, hasty product launches and an overall chaotic environment" that could be in violation of a government order limiting its privacy and security practices. The company now called X Corp. had filed a motion in July for a protective order that would prevent Musk from having to testify about the company and for relief from its 2022 consent order with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). In a Monday filing on behalf of the FTC, the US Department of Justice said that in seeking to end the FTC's order, X merely "complains the FTC asked too many questions after Elon Musk acquired the company. But the FTC was asking questions, according to the ..

Musk's refusal to have Starlink support Ukraine's attack raises questions

SpaceX founder Elon Musk's refusal to allow Ukraine to use Starlink internet services to launch a surprise attack on Russian forces in Crimea last September has raised questions as to whether the US military needs to be more explicit in future contracts that services or products it purchases could be used in war, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said on Monday. Excerpts of a new biography of Musk published by The Washington Post last week revealed that the Ukrainians in September 2022 had asked for the Starlink support to attack Russian naval vessels based at the Crimean port of Sevastopol. Musk had refused due to concerns that Russia would launch a nuclear attack in response. Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and claims it as its territory. Musk was not on a military contract when he refused the Crimea request; he'd been providing terminals to Ukraine for free in response to Russia's February 2022 invasion. However, in the months since, the US military has funded and ...

Elon Musk's social media site X sues California over content moderation law

Elon Musk's social media platform formerly known as Twitter has sued the state of California over a law requiring social media companies to publish their policies for removing offending material such as hate speech, misinformation and harassment. The first-of-its-kind legislation was signed into law a year ago by California Gov. Gavin Newsom. In a lawsuit filed Friday against state Attorney General Robert Bonta, X Corp. challenged the "constitutionality and legal validity" of the law, saying it violates the First Amendment. Assembly bill 587 requires social media platforms to post their content moderation policies which they already do and twice a year submit a report to the state on how they address hate speech, racism, misinformation, foreign political interference and other issues. The law, "compels companies to engage in speech against their will, impermissibly interferes with the constitutionally-protected editorial judgments of companies such as X Corp." and has pressures ..
