  • A Texas attorney, Bill Aleshire, expressed outrage that Gov. Greg Abbott is claiming emails between his office and Elon Musk are private.
  • Abbott's office claimed the emails contain confidential information, including private exchanges with lawyers, policy-making decisions, and information about attracting companies to invest in Texas.
  • Abbott's office argued releasing the emails would have a 'chilling effect' on open discussion necessary for the decision-making process.
