'You’re spending your time picking fights online. Fix your companies. Or Congress will,” a powerful Democratic senator told Elon Musk on Sunday.
Twitter owner and Chief Executive Elon Musk continued to antagonize his critics Sunday, drawing the ire of a powerful senator who sits on the Commerce committee.
“I’m asking for answers from @elonmusk who is putting profits over people and his debt over stopping disinformation. Twitter must explain how this happened and how to prevent it from happening again,” Markey said, attaching a letter to Musk asking for a response in writing by Nov. 25.“Perhaps it is because your real account sounds like a parody?” Musk said.
Markey is a member of the Senate’s Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, which has the power to investigate Musk and his companies, and oversees the Federal Trade Commission and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
