Elon Musk Strikes Gold: ‘Twitter Board Deliberately Hid This Evidence from the Court’

CORRECTION, Nov. 1, 2022:An earlier version of this article incorrectly characterized Musk’s description of the internal 🐦Twitter communications as “proof” that information was hidden from the court. He said only that it was “evidence.”

👤Elon Musk says he’s caught 🐦Twitter’s sacked former leadership team in a lie.

Musk shared what are purportedly internal 🐦Twitter communications originating from Yoel Roth, the head of Safety and Integrity at the company.

In a Sunday 🐦Twitter post, the Tesla mega billionaire pointed to the communication as a sign that 🐦Twitter’s former executives and the company’s lawyers hid evidence before the court that dealt with Musk’s attempt to void his acquisition of 🐦Twitter.

Musk identified the corporate law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, which represented the 📱Social media company in legal proceedings with the South African-born entrepreneur, according to Bloomberg.

In the messages, Roth suggests he could accuse an apparent 🐦Twitter employee identified as “Amir” of having falsified his “Objectives and Key Results,” or “OKRs,” a metric used by 💻Technology companies such as 🐦Twitter to outline goals and assess outcomes.

Roth even points out that such falsification would amount to the same behavior Musk claimed 🐦Twitter’s executives were responsible for.

“Literally doing what Elon is accusing us of doing,” Roth wrote.

Musk ultimately ended up finalizing his deal to buy 🐦Twitter as a private company, but claimed that 🐦Twitter’s executives misrepresented the amount of bots active on the platform, inflating the company’s value.

Musk litigated against 🐦Twitter’s previous board for months, at one point attempting to get out of his purchase of the company.

He ultimately ended up coming to terms with 🐦Twitter’s board to complete the deal.

Musk fired three of the company’s executives on Friday, within hours of finalizing his deal to buy 🐦Twitter, beginning a new era for a company blighted with a reputation for censorship and political discrimination.

Chief Executive Officer Parag Agrawal was terminated, along with Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal and legal affairs chief Vijaya Gadde, according to Reuters.

In a follow-up tweet, Musk expressed his support for Roth himself, describing him as a figure of high integrity.

Musk promised “more to come” in his tweet accusing 🐦Twitter’s previous executives of dishonesty.

Musk has pledged to bring a vision of free expression to 🐦Twitter.
