Musk's leadership at X prompts renewed scrutiny over data practices from regulators

The FTC is investigating whether changes at X under Musk violated a prior consent order related to data privacy and security.
Musk's attempts to end the consent order and avoid testifying have been rejected by the government in new court filings.
Former X employees testified Musk created a "chaotic environment" and rushed product launches without proper privacy reviews.
Concerns raised include Musk granting a journalist access to internal systems and reducing staffing critical to complying with the FTC order.
The government argues Musk's decisions as owner may have jeopardized X's ability to protect user data as required.
