Muskey fishes in the George Santos playbook of lies, evidently.

Twitter owner Elon Musk met Thursday with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Capitol Hill, as his chaotic takeover of the social network stokes a years-long debate over how Washington should regulate the tech industry.

Quote

Musk tweeted that he also met with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)., but an aide to Jeffries told The Washington Post that the Democratic leader and Musk had only a coincidental encounter as the billionaire was leaving his meeting with McCarthy. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private exchange. ....

Elon Musk Says He Could Have Raised Funds to Take Tesla Private

Do not take internet personalities claims at face value. In particular you should listen to Musk in court here and not take anything he says on Twitter factually, as apparently that was his actual defense.

You can see tweets but can’t tweet yourself?  If so… me too.

This is political theater, but part of me says 'please let the GOP be this stupid enough to try this.' 

'Later comes the arrest part': GOP congressman threatens former Twitter execs with ominous rant at hearing (msn.com)

 

Higgins accused the panel of allowing the FBI to suppress the story one month before the 2020 election.

"You people interfered with the United States of America's 2020 presidential election, knowingly and willingly," Higgins said.

"That's the bad news, it's gonna get worse," he warned. "Because this is the investigation part. Later comes the arrest part."

Hmmm, like Huckabee frothing and howling that Dems are insane, we have this:

GOP lawmakers allege Big Tech conspiracy, even as ex-Twitter employees rebut them
A Wednesday hearing about Elon Musk’s ‘Twitter Files’ fanned allegations that Democrats pressure Silicon Valley to censor conservative views

How many years have we seen the reich accusing the Dems of everything that it is They do?
