Elon Musk to Push for Twitter Geolocation Data After Whistleblower’s Bombshell: Sources

Elon Musk will push for access to Twitter’s internal geolocation data related to spam accounts at his court hearing Wednesday after it was revealed that a former top executive has accused the company of “lying about bots” to the billionaire Tesla boss, sources close to the situation told The Post.

The geolocation data could help Musk better analyze Twitter’s fake account problem, one source close to the case said.

The in-person hearing in Musk’s ongoing legal battle to scrap his $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. at the Delaware Court of Chancery, according to court filings. The Post first reported news of Musk’s plans for the hearing.

Zatko’s complaint claims that Twitter’s leadership is financially incentivized to juice user numbers instead of cracking down on bots. Musk has repeatedly accused Twitter of covering up a bot problem as part of his effort to get out of his $44 billion takeover deal.

In Zatko’s complaint, which was first reported by CNN and the Washington Post on Tuesday, the former executive claims that Twitter’s C-suite could be paid bonuses worth up to $10 million if they boosted the number of users, incentivizing them to ignore the site’s widespread issue with spam accounts.
