Congress has an inherent subpoena power. It is supposed to be used in order to become informed about matters that are or may be subject of legislation.

Congress had Zunckerber and Dorsey in no so many years ago. I think to grandstand on the Russian Collusion hoax and not for legislation - but Dorsey and Zuckerborg were happy to oblige their side.

well, when you hire people based on skin color and their sex, instead of competence, that’s what happens.

He should go to this. He should answer every single question posed with: The 1st Amendment precludes the government from interfering in the right of the people to speak freely.

And he should say nothing else except for mannerly things. Please, Thank You, etc.

Maybe they should wait until the deal closes.

And even then, what do they expect him to say? What a bunch of morons.

Hurt feelings? Fear that their BS on one social media platform will be open to challenges?

Wow, revealing the extent to which they have infiltrated social media with their operatives. This validates claims that they are using the media to brainwash Americans. This is a complete takeover attempt. I don’t think we really know the extent of it yet.

Here is the proof for all to see that twitter was founded and funded by democrats to promote democrat ideas and to suppress normal people.

And, now we know.

You are going to need to read up on how Twitter came to be founded.
You are wrong.

Bottom line: Dems just want to control Twitter again.

“Under what authority?”

If the sale goes through, which I do not expect it will, it would be a private company and not subject to congressional review.

Twitter is right now covering up their crimes, reinstating followers to throttled accounts, and removing bot followers to the voices they wanted to elevate.

This is fraud, thus, Elon can back away from his offer, watch the Twitter stock crash 20-30%, and then jump back in and buy it at a discount.

“I’d tell them to go BEEP themselves.”

Better, agree to testify.

Then tell them he is going to exercise HIS right to Free Speech as he tells them, publicly, it’s none of their damn business what he intends with his property.

And shame them over their compulsion to censor.

Grand theater.

Exactly what authority do they have to compel Musk to explain himself?
