Democrat senators on Friday will weigh whether or not Elon Musk should testify about how he intends to reform Twitter.
The senators’ deliberation comes after the Biden administration on Wednesday created a “Disinformation Governance Board” just two days after Musk’s inked the deal with Twitter. It appears Democrats are gearing up for a two-pronged attack on any changes Musk makes to the platform.
“We’re thinking about it,” Commerce Committee Chair Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) told Bloomberg News about a potential hearing. No hearing has yet been scheduled, but Democrats may find a hearing politically expedient.
Since Musk’s successful bid to take Twitter private, congressional Democrats have become interested

Exactly what right does Congress have to interrogate a business owner on his intended business practices before he even takes over the business?
Answer: None. Musk should flip them off and just say it's none of their business.

All Musk needs to say is "Why weren't you "concerned" before?"

WTH? Musk should dig deep to find dirt on these senators and publish it. There is bound to be plenty.

Twitter is a private company, right Democrats? They can do what they want, right Democrats? Go ahead Democrats, haul Elon before one of your Show Trials for all to see. Show us all that you don't believe in the sanctancy of the 1st Amendment. Make our day.

A business owner who has to answer to a bunch of people who have no business or economic sense whatsoever! Those people are all Joe Bidens.

It's his company and he can allow everyone their 1st amendment rights if they chose.

This has the potential to be a session for the ages akin to the June 9th, 1954: "Have you no sense of decency?" moment when Joseph Welch destroyed McCarthyism. Can but hope.

They are afraid he will let the truth speak out, as opposed to the lies and shutdowns previously allowed on Twitless....

They should just send a 'strongly worded letter' to Musk, but I guess the theater is calling.

Only problem with that, #11, is that McCarthy was right. As we see all around us today.
Musk should file suit right now and get this all the way to the SCOTUS, which I pray will do the right thing. If they rule against him, this country is dead.

No. Musk has to walk a fine line. The government uses his Spacex services and loaned him money for Tesla. He’ll know what to do.

That’s a really really bad idea. Not one of them comes close to being as smart as Musk. He will eat their lunch with a smirk on his face. Congress has no standing here to protest this sale and the reason for their objections is transparently obvious.

When one's franchise in the oligarchy is funded by government handouts, it should be no surprise to learn the government has certain expectations.

In these new changing times, we see the words 'disinformation' or 'misinformation' what happened to lies and deception those words were just fine. Give me a break the free speech was on the left while dissenters who disagree were silenced now it's threatening to the left that the silenced voices will be heard again so the government has to fix that, soon. Bring in a committee, a fact finding mission and wasted taxpayer money.

kind of a reverse Kafka trap. The dims admit who they are by overtly demonstrating their mendacity and projecting their own despicable behavior upon their political opponents.

Sure it was a Public Company but the left ran and controlled it as their own. No longer will the left be able to control the narrative.

Any/Every Congresscritter that took even a DIME in donations from Musk or ANY twitter connected employee/investor would have to "Recuse".
Leaving ZERO Democrats able to sit on the committee.

I would watch this one, just to see the lopsided use of a human brain compared to those who think they're pretty smart - with the demcommies if they didn't have their written scripts to read in these hearings they wouldn't know what to ask or what to say - the best example is comrade hosingyou obama and his use of the teleprompter, if he didn't have that aid he'd be a boat without a rudder

The Dems had better re-think this. Musk’s IQ is higher than the total IQ’s of any five Democrats combined and he would embarrass them if they tried to grill him. In fact, I would like to see them try. It would be fun to watch.

F these imperialist democrats. They won’t do it because they know Musk would make fools out of the lot of them. They’re trying to flex what they think is muscle, but is really just an over abundance of adipose tissue and gas.

The DemocRATS will "demand" what they want, because they criminally rigged 2020 election places nothing but criminals in charge. Welcome to the new Soviet Union.

"Senator Blumenthal, if someone posted on Twitter that you served in Viet Nam, should that post be deleted, as false information?"
I can hardly wait to see what Elon does to these nitwits. It will be delightful to watch!
