Twitter: Musk under federal investigation

In a court filing, Twitter says Musk is being investigated by federal authorities over his conduct in his $44 billion takeover deal for the company. The company does not say what the exact focus of the probes is, nor which federal authorities are conducting them. The court filing asks Musk’s attorneys to provide documents that are being withheld, which Musk’s attorney’s say contain ‘privileged’ information. Twitter:

This game of ‘hide the ball’ must end.

An attorney for Musk:

[Twitter’s court filing is a] misdirection. It is Twitter’s executives that are under federal investigation.
