Chamath Palihapitiya：推特前安全主管的举报揭露了推特公司存在的严重安全漏洞和内部掩盖行为，这将对马斯克收购推特案产生重大影响。举报指出，推特公司存在严重的安全漏洞，使得公司容易受到外国间谍、黑客和虚假信息宣传的影响。此外，推特公司对虚假账户的政策导致了对垃圾邮件账户的故意忽视，并给予高管奖励以增加用户数量而非发现机器人账户。举报者将文件提交给了司法部、证交会和国会，以及《华盛顿邮报》。 David Sacks：推特公司可能存在掩盖机器人账户问题的行为。推特高管可能因为薪酬与对问题的理解程度挂钩，而故意忽视了机器人账户问题。举报者指控公司存在蓄意欺骗行为。举报者指控推特CEO帕拉格·阿格拉瓦尔直接参与了掩盖行为。举报者指控推特高管违反了证券法，并通过歪曲数据来掩盖公司的问题。马斯克收购推特的诉讼的核心在于一项具体的履约条款，而举报者的说法可能会影响事实认定。市场预期马斯克最终将以低于54.2美元的价格收购推特。 Friedberg：需要评估举报内容的重要性以及董事会是否尽到了注意义务。如果董事会未采取行动，则可能存在违反注意义务的问题。如果CEO阻止信息传递给董事会，则可能面临被解雇的风险。此事件可能导致推特公司面临与Facebook和谷歌类似的FTC诉讼。举报者主要关注的是推特公司在安全问题上的信息披露，而非垃圾邮件问题。公司通常会通过审计委员会向董事会报告网络安全漏洞。举报者可能缺乏管理能力，这影响了其在董事会面前的发言权。
