Parts of Twitter’s source code have been leaked, and the social media platform owned by billionaire Elon Musk is seeking information on the person responsible, according to legal filings.

The March 24 document filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, indicates that “various excerpts” of Twitter’s source code, which is used to run the company online, were posted on GitHub by a user named “FreeSpeechEnthusiast.”
