Social media company seeks subpoena and removal of software instructions from GitHub
The potential loss of Twitter’s most important intellectual property follows a period of internal turmoil after Elon Musk bought the company for $44 billion in October last year. This has led to warnings that its underlying technology could face disruption, including sabotage by disaffected workers.
Musk has been attempting to bring the loss-making company to financial health while also facing an advertiser exodus and having to make $1.5bn of interest payments on the $13bn of debt he used for the purchase of Twitter. According to former employees, Musk has been concerned about possible sabotage of Twitter’s operations since completing his divisive acquisition of the site. He alienated many employees from the start after making clear that he intended to overhaul a culture he claimed had led to unwarranted censorship and said many workers would lose their jobs.
