Amidst all the turmoil around Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter and overhauling its verification policies, Musk has received a comment from Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) that reads, “ Fix your companies. Or Congress will ”.

This wasn’t one-sided but rather a response to Musk’s comment on Markey’s real Twitter account that said, “ sounds like a parody ”.

One of your companies is under an FTC consent decree. Auto safety watchdog NHTSA is investigating another for killing people. And you’re spending your time picking fights online. Fix your companies. Or Congress will. https://t.co/lE178gPRoM — Ed Markey (@SenMarkey) November 13, 2022
