During the interview, Musk discussed the extent of surveillance that was going on at Twitter before he purchased the company in October of 2022.
In a shocking statement, Musk admitted that the former ownership gave access to every part of Twitter to multiple government agencies. This information even included access to users’ direct messages. See a clip of that admission below…

This interview comes just days after Elon Musk signed a deal with EToro to bring cryptocurrency to the platform. CNBC reports about that deal…
Twitter will let its users access stocks, cryptocurrencies and other financial assets through a partnership with eToro, a social trading company.
Starting Thursday, a new feature will be rolled out on the Twitter app. It will allow users to view market charts on an expanded range of financial instruments and buy and sell stocks and other assets from eToro, the company told CNBC exclusively.
Currently, it’s already possible to view real-time trading data from TradingView on index funds like the S&P 500 and shares of some companies such as Tesla. That can be done using Twitter’s “cashtags” feature — you search for a ticker symbol and insert dollar sign in front of it, after which the app will show you price information from TradingView using an API (application programming interface).
