Former Twitter security head sues Musk

San Francisco: Former Twitter IT security head Alan Rosa has filed a lawsuit against X, its owner Elon Musk and company adviser Steve Davis, alleging that he was sacked for protesting cost-cutting measures at the company that could keep Twitter from complying with the law.

Rosa, former head of global information technology and information security, claimed in the lawsuit that he was terminated in an unexplainable fashion as he did nothing wrong that would justify his termination. No reason was provided to the plaintiff explaining why he was being fired.

The lawsuit alleged that Musk gave Davis broad authority with which he immediately “began cutting Twitter’s products and services that supported and complied with the Twitter FTC Consent Decree.”
