Elon Musk has unfollowed prominent Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) investor Sawyer Merritt on X, formerly Twitter, due to an alleged breach of confidentiality.
What Happened: On Tuesday, a user on X, who goes by the name Brandon Smith on the platform, questioned Musk about this move stating that Merritt often breaks news about Tesla that employees don’t disclose to the tech billionaire.
Musk responded, “Don't post leaks of confidential information and expect me to follow.”
Smith then defended Merritt, stating that if Merritt had received confidential information directly, he wouldn’t have posted it. He also requested Musk to give Merritt another chance.
