Grassley presses Musk over Twitter data security concerns, whistleblower allegations
The Hill ^ | 11/23/2022 | REBECCA KLAR

Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa), the highest-ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, pressed new Twitter CEO Elon Musk over data security concerns raised by a Twitter whistleblower who came forward before Musk completed his acquisition of the company.

Grassley’s Wednesday letter to Musk focuses on issues Musk inherited when taking over Twitter, differing from pushback from the senator’s Democratic colleagues that centers on changes Musk has made since taking the reins at the end of October.

Grassley told Musk Twitter’s former CEO cited “the ongoing litigation with you as an excuse” to sidestep questions about the whistleblower allegations. Now that Musk completed his $44 billion acquisition, Grassley told Musk he’s “uniquely positioned to provide answers to Congress where [his] predecessor failed.”

I don’t think Sen. Grassley is the bad guy here. Perhaps read the story again.

Grassley is a Pencer who wanted Mueller to expand and continue.

And he’s better than most in the sad Senate.

This is an invitation to Musk to spill dirt on the previous management using a Congressional platform.

Which Musk will only do if he feels it’s advantageous to Twitter.

But it for sure makes the usual suspects nervous. All kinds of dirty secrets are digitized in Twitter data.

>> This is an invitation to Musk...

my thoughts too.

Haven’t shared AS’ POV, but that’s not to say he’s wrong.
