Biden admin ‘uncomfortable’ with Elon Musk Twitter buy, may launch investigation

The Biden administration is “uncomfortable” with the idea of Elon Musk acquiring Twitter, according to a Bloomberg report, due to Musk being “Russia-friendly” and inviting “foreign investors”. 

The world’s richest man, a self-described “free speech absolutist,” recently announced his intention to move forward with the acquisition after a public spat with the social media platform. Musk previously threatened to pull out of the deal amid accusations that Twitter has more fake accounts, or bots, than the company claimed. 

Twitter, once a town square for public conversation, has become a globalist bullhorn currently under communist management. According to one Twitter executive who mocked Musk’s autism, Twitter is “not just to give people free speech” because “people don’t know how to make a rational decision.” 

So, when Musk first announced his intention to buy Twitter in April, it triggered a meltdown among the mainstream media and Twitter employees, with some executives breaking down weeping in company boardrooms. 

A week later, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) attempted to launch a “joint investigation” into Musk. 

Now the Biden administration is growing even more antsy about Musk owning Twitter, claiming he is “Russia-friendly” and may invite “foreign investors”. 

“US officials have grown uncomfortable over Elon Musk’s recent threat to stop supplying the Starlink satellite service to Ukraine — he said it had cost him $80 million so far — and what they see as his increasingly Russia-friendly stance following a series of tweets that outlined peace proposals favorable to President Vladimir Putin,” reported Bloomberg. “They are also concerned by his plans to buy Twitter with a group of foreign investors.” 

Musk’s “Russia-friendliness” is based on a tweet the billionaire wrote earlier this month suggesting a path to peace in the Russia-Ukraine war. Part of the suggestion involved allowing the citizens of the annexed regions to vote on whether they prefer to be part of Russia or Ukraine. Both countries would have to respect the will of the people, whatever the outcome.  

The tweet sparked international condemnation and fury, with some accusing Musk of being a Russian spy. One Ukrainian official accused Musk of “misinformation,” and another told him to “f*ck off.” Some Twitter users suggested he was a Hitler collaborator. 

But the other factor worrying the Biden administration – the presence of “foreign investors” - may trigger an investigation, says Bloomberg. 

“One element of the $44 billion Twitter deal that could trigger a [Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States] review is the presence of foreign investors in Musk’s consortium. The group includes Prince Alwaleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia, Binance Holdings Ltd. -- a digital-asset exchange founded and run by a Chinese native -- and Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund.” 

But Prince bin Talal has already been a Twitter shareholder for years, becoming one of its largest after buying a 5.2% stake in 2015. In April, bin Talal publicly rejected Musk’s push to buy the company, saying Musk’s $44 billion cash offer doesn’t come “close to the intrinsic value of @Twitter given its growth prospects.” 

It is unclear if Twitter or its then-CEO Jack Dorsey were ever investigated for bin Talal’s involvement in the company. It is also unclear if Harvard University, where bin Talal sponsors a research fellowship in Islamic Studies, is also being scrutinized. 

A 2020 report by the New York Post suggests an infiltration of some of America’s largest companies by the Chinese Communist Party, including Pfizer. It is unclear if any investigations have been launched into these corporations. 

Nor was an investigation launched into Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who had an amorous relationship with Chinese spy Fang Fang as a sitting US congressman. But more than being mere bedfellows, Fang Fang helped put Swalwell in office by helping him campaign. 

“Every public company within this nation is owned in part by foreign investors. Every single one,” commented Fox News host Tucker Carlson Saturday. “And of course thousands, tens of thousands of acres of US farmland are owned by the communist Chinese government. But because apparently Elon Musk plans to form some sort of partnership with ‘foreign investors’ - maybe the Saudis – he needs a national security review.” 

“This is about censorship and Elon Musk’s promise to end censorship, which is the single worst thing that can happen to the Biden administration, to the Democratic Party and to the people currently running the country,” he added.
