  • Elon Musk's lawyers issue a third letter trying to terminate his deal to acquire Twitter.
  • A $ 7.75 million payment to Peiter "Mudge" Zatko is a new breach of the agreement, Musk claimed.
  • Zatko is a whistleblower against Twitter. His disclosure openly backs some Musk allegations.

Elon Musk found a new reason to walk away from buying Twitter. This time it's a huge severance package the company paid to a former executive who recently accused it of serious security flaws.

In a letter sent Friday afternoon by Musk's legal counsel to Twitter's chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde, the billionaire took issue with a $ 7.75 million payment in late June to Peiter Zatko, better known as "Mudge," after he was let go from the company.

Lawyers for Musk argued the payment is a breach of the $ 44 billion merger agreement signed back in April. Twitter promised in the deal not to "provide any severance or termination payments or benefits to any Company Service Provider," the attorneys wrote in the letter, while noting that the definition of a "Company Service Provider" includes former Twitter employees.

This marks the third "notice of termination" of the merger agreement sent by Musk to Twitter. The first was sent in early July, claiming that Musk had the right to cancel the deal because Twitter's allegedly withheld requested data and information regarding the number of "bots" or spam accounts on the platform. The second was in August, pointing to Zatko's whistleblower disclosure as a new basis for Musk to call off the acquisition. Broadly speaking, Musk is accusing Twitter of "fraud" by misleading him on its business and monetization capabilities, as well as public investors and the SEC.

"Although the Musk parties believe this termination notice is not legally necessary to terminate the merger agreement because they have already validly terminated it… the Musk parties are delivering this additional termination notice in the event that [earlier notices are] determined to be invalid for any reason," the letter adds. 

Representatives for Twitter could not be immediately reached for comment. The company has repeatedly stood by its existing disclosures about bots on its service. 

Musk has leapt on Zatko's whistleblower disclosure, made public in August, as he fights in Delaware Chancery Court to walk away from his agreement to buy Twitter at no cost. Twitter sued Musk in July, saying he is legally bound to purchase the company for $ 44 billion and Musk's true reason for backing out was worry over his personal fortune being affected by a downward turn in financial markets. The company also recently claimed that Musk's personal texts show he was thinking about getting out of the deal in early May, just a few weeks after he agreed to buy it.

As for Zatko, a hacker turned security expert, he spent only a year working at Twitter. The company claims he was fired earlier this year for performance issues and that all of the concerns he raised about security were investigated when he was still with the company. Zatko's lengthy disclosure to Congress claimed Twitter suffers from unchecked and "egregious" security flaws that he was told to withhold or temper the seriousness of in presentations to the company's board. He also claimed Twitter "lied" to Musk about its measuring of "bot" accounts. Twitter called Zatko's disclosure "opportunistic" and an obvious attempt to harm the company. 

While Twitter employees told Insider they are suspicious of Zatko's motivations, some of his claims struck a chord with current Twitter workers.

Twitter's lawsuit against Musk is headed to a five-day trial in early October.

  • The South Korean government's YouTube channel was breached to stream cryptocurrency videos.
  • The cyberattacker renamed the channel "SpaceX Invest" and broadcast an interview with Elon Musk.
  • It's the third YouTube channel run by South Korea's government to be hacked in the last two weeks.

The South Korean government's official YouTube channel was hacked on Saturday morning to broadcast a video featuring billionaire Elon Musk chatting about cryptocurrency, according to local media reports.

At 3:30 a.m., the channel's name was switched to "SpaceX Invest," per the Yonhap News Agency. A screenshot posted by the agency appears to show a clip from a June interview Musk gave to Bloomberg News editor-in-chief John Micklethwait during the Qatar Economic Forum.

In the interview, Musk discussed how his Tesla and SpaceX companies had bought bitcoin as a "small percentage" of their cash assets and said his automaker accepts Dogecoin, the cryptocurrency he helped boost by 10% after tweeting about it.

The South Korean government became aware of the breach three hours later and restored its access to the account around 7.20 a.m., the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said, according to Yonhap.

The agency reported that the YouTube channel's account ID and password were said to have been stolen.

The channel has around 262,000 subscribers and actively posts videos on government policies and current events. It's the third YouTube account run by South Korea's government to have been breached in the last two weeks, Korean daily JoongAng Ilbo's Lee Jian reported.

The identities and motives of those behind the attacks are not immediately known, the paper wrote, citing a statement from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The Korea Tourism Organization's YouTube channel was breached twice — once on Thursday and once on Friday — and was suspended until Sunday, JoongAng Ilbo reported.

Meanwhile, the YouTube channel of South Korea's National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art was also hacked on August 29 to stream a video about cryptocurrencies, the outlet wrote. It's not clear if this attack was related to the breach on Sunday.

Google, YouTube's parent company, confirmed the breaches to Yonhap and Joongang Ilbo, saying it would investigate the cause of the attacks. Google did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has asked a federal judge to hold Tesla boss Elon Musk in contempt for tweeting last Tuesday that “Tesla made 0 cars in 2011, but will make around 500k in 2019.” In reality, Tesla only expects to produce 400,000 cars in 2019. And the SEC argues the tweet ran afoul of an October settlement requiring Musk to seek pre-approval from Tesla lawyers before tweeting out potentially market-moving information.

Musk agreed to this restriction to settle an SEC lawsuit over a previous tweet in which Musk claimed that he had “funding secured” to take Tesla private at $ 420 per share. The public soon discovered that Musk had not actually secured funding for such a transaction, and federal securities laws make it illegal for the CEO of a publicly-traded company to publish misleading market-moving information.

In his settlement with the SEC, Musk agreed to pay a $ 20 million fine and give up his position as the chairman of Tesla’s board (Tesla paid an additional $ 20 million fine). And to make sure Musk didn’t mislead investors again, the SEC required Tesla to develop a process for pre-approving all Musk tweets that contain potentially market-moving information.

Elon Musk—CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and The Boring Company—has been pitching his new tunnel-boring capabilities to curious elected officials as well as the director of CERN (the organization that owns and operates the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland).

Just a month after Musk opened up his first, rather rugged test tunnel under the SpaceX campus in Hawthorne, California, the CEO has been on Twitter floating prices and talking projects.

Last week Jeremy Buckingham, a member of Parliament in New South Wales’ Upper House, asked Musk on Twitter, “How much to build a 50km tunnel through the Blue Mountains and open up the west of our State?” Musk replied, “About $ 15M/km for a two-way high-speed transit, so probably around $ 750M plus maybe $ 50M/station.”

  • Elon Musk said SpaceX is building a “test hopper” vehicle in Texas that could launch by March or April.
  • The vehicle is a squat version of a full-scale Starship spaceship — one that’s being designed to reach Mars as part of the Big Falcon Rocket system.
  • Photos taken by locals in Boca Chica, Texas (where SpaceX is building a launch site) show what appears to be the outline of a spaceship coming together.

Elon Musk logged on to Twitter this weekend to deliver a veritable sleigh full of gifts to fans of his rocket company, SpaceX, in time for Christmas.

Musk was waiting for SpaceX’s 21st (and record-breaking) rocket launch of the year on Saturday when he revealed that construction of a prototype for a Mars spaceship, called Starship, is now underway at the company’s Texas launch site.

SpaceX founder Elon Musk praised the Russian-built RD-180 rocket engine for looking awesome but said his bitter rivals Lockheed and Boeing ought to be ashamed of using it during their launches.

The eccentric tech billionaire said a few nice words about the RD-180 on Twitter, while mocking his competitors at the same time. “It’s embarrassing that Boeing and Lockheed need to use a Russian engine on Atlas,” the rocket-maker wrote on Saturday “but that engine design is brilliant.”

The RD-180 was developed by NPO Energomash in the 1990s, based on an older Soviet model, RD-170. Since the early-2000s, the Colorado-based United Launch Alliance (ULA), jointly run by Boeing and Lockheed Martin, has been using the engine to power the first stages of its Atlas carrier rockets, including Atlas V.

The design Musk likes so much is not its only great feature. The ULA website calls RD-180 “a powerful combination of innovation and performance.” A research paper published by the company in 2011 described it as an “efficient, reliable engine,” that was “unmatched” among its competitors and “specifically tailored” for the Atlas family.

Overall, the Russian-built engine has been used in over 75 launches across the US, including in 2011 when NASA sent the Curiosity rover to Mars.

The reliance on RD-180 tech also landed the ULA in hot water as politicians grew increasingly wary of its dependence on Moscow. In 2016, Congress mandated the companies to phase out the use of the engine by 2022.

  • The next step for The Boring Company is to show that it can send a large number of vehicles through a tunnel at high speeds, founder Elon Musk said on Wednesday via Twitter.
  • “Next step for @BoringCompany Loop is demonstrating high throughput at high speed. Target is 4000 vehicles/hour at 155mph (250km/h),” he said.
  • Musk also said the company will offer vehicles in a range of sizes for passengers in its proposed underground tunnel system.

Elon Musk revealed what’s next for The Boring Company in a series of tweets on Wednesday, a day after he demonstrated how the underground tunnels the startup is developing would operate in Los Angeles.

“Next step for @BoringCompany Loop is demonstrating high throughput at high speed. Target is 4000 vehicles/hour at 155mph (250km/h),” he said.

  • Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk made a brief public appearance late on Tuesday to unveil the first tunnel completed by the underground transit venture he launched two years ago.
  • Musk has advertised the proof-of-concept tunnel as a first step toward developing a high-speed subterranean network capable of whisking vehicles and pedestrians.
  • The new tunnel was excavated along a path that runs not through Los Angeles but beneath the tiny adjacent municipality of Hawthorne, where Musk’s Boring Company and his SpaceX rocket firm are both headquartered.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk made a brief public appearance late on Tuesday to unveil the first tunnel completed by the underground transit venture he launched two years ago as an ambitious remedy to Los Angeles’ infamously heavy traffic.

But contrary to some of his own hype from several months ago, free rides were not part of the grand opening.
