Employees ignored Musk’s directive to provide “full access to everything” to outsiders.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has concluded that Elon Musk ordered employees of Twitter (now X) to take actions that would violate the FTC’s rules regarding the privacy and security of consumer information.
