Senator Ted Cruz has called out Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey after the social media platform collated tweets reacting to his statements on space piracy, a move the Republican politician characterized as snarky.
“Since the ancient Greeks first put to sea, nations have recognized the necessity of naval forces and maintaining a superior capability to protect waterborne travel and commerce from bad actors,” Cruz said Tuesday.

Cruz was putting his weight behind the Trump administration’s plan to create a Space Force, which congressional estimates say would cost in excess of $2 billion to get off the ground. According to The Hill, the Pentagon said the Space Force is a necessity as China and Russia expand their capabilities in space. Following the missile tests in Space by China in 2013, U.S. generals have called for a response to the threat against crucial military satellites.
1a. Citizens have the right to petition the govt for redress of grievances. Sorry, senator.
Teddy, the Uber rich people in America can easily free up a few billion to wipe out whatever they want in space with their own satellites....Zapp⚡️
. Rafael dosent understand how easy it is to destroy the orbital space around earth. You start blowing stuff up and you start a cascading effect and destroy all satellites. I'm sure his bully told him to show support for this or get called names again. Wimp. SHAMEONREPUBLICANS
TedCruz has his playoff beard goin'. So does DonaldTrumpJr . You guys w/no chin whatsoever should let the chin hair grow out though. That'd be a 'look'. DontTrimThaChin Trump
Hey jack TwitterSupport hahahaha!!! re: TedCruz Sit back back...I got this! Cordially Yours, Your Friendly Foe, Jackson
It's jack fault that Cruz says really ridiculous nonsense and the internet laughs at him? Jack seems to have an enormous amount of responsibility in this scenario but hey.. 🤷🏻♀️ This is Chrisian Homeschool logic, right here.
The threat isn’t space pirates stealing satellites. The threat is of other nations or rogue terrorists crippling our ability to communicate by attacking and destroying satellites in orbit
Texas - this is your representative. Way to go. 😐
Um, tedcruz those would be American voters...
If you look at the size of other stars out there, it is possible for 'space pirates' to be big enough to use our planet as a soccer ball. So to talk about fighting aliens is pathetic. Someone will eventually be mad and wipe us out if we try to set up all kinds of weapons in space
... which yielded more snarky reactions
