So many of us have our eyes on Mar-A-Lago that we have forgotten about the Musk-Twitter battle.
Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey have long been friends, but business is business, and Elon Musk has reportedly issued a subpoena for Jack Dorsey.
Musk wants to know the true extent of the automated bot issue on Twitter and no one is in a better position to give this information than Jack Dorsey—Twitter’s former C.E.O.
Dorsey has gone on the record to imply that the platform is dying and suffers from a range of issues, praising Musk as the only person who could save the platform.
Still, it remains to be seen if Dorsey will essentially act as an informant against his brainchild…
Here’s what we currently know:

Breitbart adds:
Breitbart News recently reported that Twitter’s former head of security, Peiter Zatko, a widely known hacker who went by the screen name “Mudge,” has come forward with a whistleblower complaint alleging that the company’s management misled federal regulators and the company’s board of directors about “extreme, egregious deficiencies.”
