. Less than an hour after the hearings ended, Twitter shareholders voted to approve Musk’s original deal. “There’s been a pile-on to Twitter, between Musk’s actions and now Mudge’s accusations, that have very much eroded the value of the stock,” says Natasha Lamb, managing partner at Arjuna Capital, which holds Twitter shares. “Investors view Musk’s purchase as potentially the only way out so that they can recoup value.

Lawmakers also pointed out that Twitter’s prioritization of its growth over security and privacy measures had serious consequences for users living under authoritarian regimes.
