On the morning of September 23, Beijing time, it was reported that the "litigation war" between Elon Musk, the head of Tesla, and Twitter had taken a new turn. Previously, Twitter had paid $7.8 million in severance compensation to a "whistleblower". The judge said on Thursday that Musk could use the problems in this severance compensation as a reason for his withdrawal from the $44 billion Twitter acquisition transaction.
据报道，北京时间9月23日上午，特斯拉领袖埃隆·在马斯克和推特之间“诉讼对决”出现了一个新的转折点。此前，推特公司曾名推特公司走来。“吹哨人”法官周四表示，马斯克可以利用离职补偿的问题作为他退出推特440亿美元收购交易的理由。
After Twitter sued Musk, Musk quickly filed a counterclaim. On Thursday, Kathaleen St. J. McCormick, a Delaware judge in charge of the case, ruled that Musk could modify the content of the counterclaim and add information about Twitter's payment of severance compensation to whistleblower Peiter Zatko.
在推特上起诉马斯克后，马斯克很快提出了反诉。周四，特拉华州法官负责此案。KathaleenSt.J.McCormick裁定称，马斯克可以修改反诉内容，增加相关推特吹哨人PeiterZatko支付离职补偿金的信息。
Musk accused that Twitter did not obtain his approval when it paid Zatko severance compensation, which violated the acquisition agreement signed by both parties.
马斯克控告称，推特向马斯克控告Zatko支付离职补偿金时，未经他许可，违反双方签订的收购协议。
In July, Twitter took Musk to court, hoping that the court would force him to buy the company for $54.2 per share. The trial of this lawsuit will begin on October 17 and last for five days.
今年7月，推特将马斯克告上法庭，迫使马斯克以每股54.2美元收购该公司。诉讼将于10月17日开始，持续5天。
It is reported that the judge's ruling is quite favorable to Musk's side. This lawsuit war has aroused public concern. The court has issued a series of subpoenas, including the subpoena issued by Musk's lawyer to Jack Dorsey, the co-founder and former CEO of Twitter. Previously, Dorsey strongly supported Musk's acquisition of Twitter.
据报道，法官的裁决对马斯克非常有益。诉讼引起了公众的关注，法院发布了一系列传票，包括马斯克律师推特创始人、前任CEO杰克·多西的传票。此前，多西强烈支持马斯克收购推特。
Zatko, the "whistleblower", used to be the information security director of Twitter. Recently, he reported many internal security problems of Twitter to the U.S. government. In particular, he mentioned that he had raised questions about the number of robot accounts and false accounts among Twitter users, but was ignored by the management.
“吹哨人”Zatko他曾担任推特信息安全负责人，最近向美国政府报告了推特中存在的许多安全问题。他还提到，他曾对推特客户中机器人账户和虚假账户的数量提出质疑，但被管理层忽视了。
This month, Zatko attended a hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee of the United States Congress. He said that the internal network security problems of Twitter are very serious, and even threaten the national security of the United States.
本月，Zatko在美国国会参议院司法委员会听证会上，他说，推特内部的网络安全问题非常严重，甚至威胁到美国的国防安全。
In response to Zatko's report, Twitter said that this person had been fired earlier this year due to performance problems. In addition, Zatko's report on Twitter is full of "false descriptions" about the company, personal privacy protection and data security system, lacking important background information, and there are many inaccuracies and inconsistencies.
对于Zatko推特回应称，该人在今年年初因绩效问题被解雇。Zatko推特检举充满了相关企业、个人隐私保护和数据安全系统“虚假描述”缺乏重要的背景信息，存在许多不准确和不一致。
Twitter has not officially commented on the judge's ruling on Thursday. Twitter lawyers did not object to Musk's request to add Zatko's severance compensation to the counterclaim.
推特官员还没有发布法官周四的裁决。马斯克要求在反诉内容中增加反诉内容。Zatko推特律师并不反对辞职补偿的问题。
On Thursday, Judge McCormick said that as long as it is conducive to the trial of the lawsuit and has a factual basis, Delaware laws allow free modification of the content of the lawsuit.
周四，McCormick法官说，只要有利于诉讼审判，只要有事实基础，特拉华州的法律就允许自由修改起诉内容。
Musk originally planned to spend $44 billion to buy Twitter, but later changed his mind. He believes that there are a large number of robot accounts and false accounts in the 230 million total users of Twitter, but Twitter did not provide him with accurate information. Twitter retorts that this is just an excuse for Musk. After signing the acquisition agreement, Musk now begins to show "regret".
马斯克最初花了440亿美元收购推特，但后来改变了主意。他认为，在2.3亿推特网站的总客户中有大量的机器人账户和虚假账户，但推特并没有为他提供准确的信息。推特反驳说，这只是马斯克签署收购协议的借口，马斯克从现在开始上演“后悔”。
At the beginning of this month, Judge McCormick approved that Musk could amend the petition and add the Twitter security issues mentioned by Zatko, such as computer security, personal privacy protection and robot accounts. However, Musk originally hoped that the court could postpone the trial, so that more whistleblowers could be found, but this request did not get the support of the judge.
本月初，McCormick法官允许马斯克修改诉状，增加诉状Zatko推特中提到的安全问题，如计算机安全、个人隐私保护和机器人账户的内容。然而，马斯克最初希望法院能推迟审判，以探索更多的哨子，但这一要求并没有得到法官的支持。
Zatko's report was also mentioned at a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. Lina Khan, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of the United States, said that she was shocked by one of the contents reported by Zatko, namely, Twitter had signed an agreement with FTC on strengthening platform security and respecting user privacy in 2011, but Twitter misled the regulatory authorities on whether to comply with this agreement.
在周二参议院司法委员会听证会上，Zatko又提到了检举。美国联邦贸易委员会。（FTC）主席莉娜·可汗说，她是对的Zatko举报的一个内容令人震惊，那就是2011年推特曾经和2011年的推特，FTC签署了加强平台安全、尊重用户隐私的协议，但推特误导了监管机构是否遵循该协议。
Lina said that some companies take FTC's orders as suggestions, which is a serious problem. Now FTC has formulated a plan to take more strict measures. She also said that the agreement signed by Twitter and FTC in 2011 was a leftover issue, and FTC's team was ready to gradually abandon the agreement, develop a clearer regulatory system, and determine the detailed boundaries of the company's behavior.
莉娜说，一些公司将FTC指令作为建议，这是一个严重的问题，现在，FTC制定了一个计划，准备采取更严格的措施。她还表示，推特和推特、FTC2011年签署的协议已经是一个遗留，FTC团队准备逐步放弃协议，制定更明确的监管制度，确定公司行为的详细界限。
Sheng, an analyst, said Lina's testimony in the US Congress was not conducive to Musk. Musk could not use Twitter's non-compliance with the security agreement with FTC as a reason to cancel the acquisition agreement. The analyst said that Lina's words made it difficult for the presiding judge to say that "the subsequent FTC punishment measures will become a significant adverse impact on the acquisition agreement."
分析师盛说，莉娜在美国国会的证据不利于马斯克，马斯克不能使用推特不遵守和FTC安全协议作为撤销收购协议的理由。分析人士说，莉娜的演讲使主审法官很难说。“后续的FTC处罚措施将成为影响收购协议的重大不良影响。”
In this case, Musk tried his best to emphasize that Twitter had not been transparent on robot accounts and false accounts. In addition, Twitter also had network security chaos reported by Zatko. These problems were enough to become "significant adverse effects" of changing the acquisition agreement. According to the laws of Delaware, Musk had the right to abandon the transaction.
在这种情况下，马斯克试图强调推特在机器人账户和虚假账户上并不透明。此外，推特还存在。Zatko报道的网络安全混乱足以成为改变收购协议的问题“重大不良影响”根据特拉华州法律，马斯克有权放弃交易。
