Elon Musk Might’ve Inadvertently Sparked a Senate Investigation Into Twitter

Elon Musk might have simply put his own foot in his mouth concerning his brand-new child, Twitter — since he pissed off a U.S. Senator … who has the power to examine him, formally.

The Chief Twit entered into a digital squabble Sunday with Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts … this after the legislator sent out EM a main letter requesting for a description on why many individuals have actually had the ability to impersonate others on Twitter, consisting of Markey himself.

You see, a WaPo press reporter just recently did what a lots of others have actually done recently — altering their profile names/pics and pretending to be another public figure. In this case, the journo was presuming Markey’s identity to show a point … and the Senator desires some responses.

Markey was company … implicating Elon of putting earnings over Twitter’s stability, to which the male in concern fired back, “Perhaps it is because your real account sounds like a parody?”

He followed up by satirizing the reality that Sen. Markey has a mask in his profile picture, however the lawmaker wasn’t in a joking state of mind. He appeared to threaten Elon with the possibility of Senate hearings if he didn’t get his home in order … beyond simply Twitter, in reality.

Markey composed in reaction, “One of your companies is under an FTC consent decree. Auto safety watchdog NHTSA is investigating another for killing people. And you’re spending your time picking fights online. Fix your companies. Or Congress will.”

Elon left it there, however he began to get buffooned too by other press reporters and experts … a lot of whom kept in mind that he simply may’ve screwed himself into a subpoena to affirm — seeing how Markey rests on a couple of essential subcommittees that supervise precisely what Elon meddles in the economic sector … like Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, The Boring Co. and now Twitter.
