Why Gov. Greg Abbott Won't Release His Emails With Elon Musk

"Texas Gov. Greg Abbott doesn’t want to reveal months of communications with Elon Musk or representatives from the tech mogul’s companies, arguing in part that they are of a private nature, not of public interest and potentially embarrassing."

"The language Abbott’s office used appears to be fairly boilerplate. Paxton’s office, in an explanation of the common-law privacy exception on its website, mentions that “personal financial information” that doesn’t deal with government transactions “is generally highly intimate or embarrassing and must be withheld.”

Why would Texas government officials be corresponding with Musk's representatives from their work/government accounts about personal finance transactions? Isn't that, in and of itself, problematic??
