Yellin obviously didn’t get the Woke memo re: NO free speech at Twitter.

Because SpaceX has Government and Military launch contracts including for classified payloads, they used that as an excuse to investigate Musk after his supposed sampling of a "blunt" on the Joe Rogan show.

They could use the same excuse to investigate Musk with his Tesla Gigafactory dealings in China.

"Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Tuesday that her agency had “no basis” to investigate the finances of Twitter"

Basis, who needs basis. That hasn't stop Democrats before.

That’s what I thought too. She’s gone off the reservation.

But there may be other things behind this, mostly FTX, so we shall see.

It doesn’t matter to a Cultural Marxist of there is reason to investigate or not. Musk has been identified as a threat and must be investigated, an actual crime can be manufactured along the way.

They can’t investigate Twitter. Elon has receipts. He is not going to miss the opportunity to blow twitter corruption out into the open, even if they go after him

Since when do Democrats need a basis for an investigation?

Elon Musk should set a maze of walls for the feds to go through for his 5:00 raid. You know it’s coming . . .

The Socialist RATS don’t have any “STANDING” to do an investigation. (A little Feral RAT Judge lingo there.)

“Every day at that company brings increasing chaos that threatens users’ wellbeing,” Markey told Politico.

WTF should the gov. care about the “wellbeing” of a twatter?

If you don’t like it then GTFO.

If they did it in response to Biden’s calls, that would be part of Musk’s defense, but now they can say, “we rejected calls for investigation at the time, but happened to find this new issue later”

Musk’s connection to the Saudis, who gained a roughly 4% stake

And the Biden’s have how much stake in Ukraine energy and other companies around the world?.

Oh never mind don’t look over there.

biden, a bitter, angry, failed president who suffers from dementia, will just tell her to find a basis for investigating Musk.

Just speculation here, but Musk knew he was opening Pandora's Box when he decided to bring "free speech" to Twitter.

He is a guy who, when he was younger, wrestled with depression...the kind that comes from a lack of "meaning/purpose in life." He concluded that "meaning" in his case must come from making a BIG difference.

Musk's Big difference: he is battling the Left's Cult of Woke to rescue free speech for America (and, by association, the world).

He picked this battle knowing it was going to be a knock-down, drag-out fight. And given that he's a bona-fide genius, he very well might win.

Let's get some popcorn and have a seat.
