Could be but the only leverage they have over him would be while he holds a job with them. As soon as he doesn't their obligations are over and are probably legally protected at that point. I imagine they wanted the tweets gone because they didn't want the legal risk. It could also be a friend calling in a favor. Both very viable options. Feel bad for the employee caught in the crosshairs.
