"Lied" makes it seem like the guy has any agenda besides protecting the Internet and the community around it.

Your questions seem reasonable except the fact they're about him!

Do you understand his (very populist) history?!

It does not seem likely to me that Mudge wrote this document personally. The document either doesn't have a byline or the byline is censored, but I'm guessing it was authored by some lawyers and distributed by Whistleblower Aid, or perhaps authored by Whistleblower Aid. I don't think it particularly reflects on Mudge's personal views on the situation, and it probably doesn't reflect on his intentions either.

It's pretty apparent that one of the intentions of this document is to get Musk out of hot water - totally separate from "protecting the internet" and not a particularly populist goal.

I'd speculate this represents a collaboration between Musk and Mudge's legal teams, probably in exchange for Musk funding litigation from Mudge regarding wrongful termination. That's all speculation, it's just what makes the most sense to me.

From having worked with Mudge tangentially in the past, the bit about Twitter not having a cold-boot scenario and that being a problem sounds like him. Given Mudge's storied history, I don't know that he needs Musk to help him fund litigation regarding wrongful termination, though the timing is interesting. Musk has more funds than Mudge does, and spending someone else's money is always more fun than spending your own, so maybe there's something to that, but as you say, that's just speculation.
