Elon Musk mocks Senate Democrats for calling for FTC to investigate Twitter

Twitter CEO Elon Musk took a shot at Senate Democrats on Friday after several members penned a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking they investigate any potential consent decree or consumer protection laws violated by the social media giant.

Musk mocked the senators for calling for the probe while remaining mum on the historic implosion of the crypto currency exchange company FTX, which has declared bankruptcy after losing billions of dollars.

He made his case by tweeting a meme showing two Rhinoceroses mating behind a wildlife photographer who’s paying no mind to the scene.

“Senators calling to investigate Twitter,” says the text over the photographer.

“FTX losing a billion dollars of client funds,” it says over the rhinos.

On Thursday, seven Democrats sent a letter to FTC Chair Lina Khan, accusing Twitter of “serious, willful disregard for the safety and security of its users” and alleged Musk has “taken alarming steps that have undermined the integrity and safety of the platform,” since his $44 Billion takeover, Fox Business reported.

Musk seems like he might be a little naive, politically speaking. The dems aren’t his friends like he apparently thinks.

The Democrats are engaging in conduct which is “serious, willful disregard for the safety and security” of Americans.

The Communist Purge Continues To Grow Exponentially & Nothing Is Being Done About It!

Elon is beginning to understand what those Chinese & Russian billionaires experience living under communism...

favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...

No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...

Now that there is no longer a recourse through free & honest elections to object to the impacts of this dark tyranny, there is no other course except continue to grovel in front of our communist masters or to reread the founding documents for a possible solution...

Maybe a gay test for the photographer that we don’t see.
