Sen. Ed Markey renews feud with Elon Musk in ridiculed tweet: 'He's just not that into you'
The Massachusetts Democrat called on Congress to pass laws to 'end the era of failed Big Tech self-regulation'
Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., renewed his now on-going feud with Twitter CEO Elon Musk for the latter’s refusal to take the senator’s demands seriously Saturday.
Markey tweeted that Musk had refused to respond to his formal letter sent out on Nov. 11 requiring answers regarding Musk’s plans to combat disinformation on Twitter. The Democrat said that Saturday marked one day after his original deadline and that Musk has yet to formally respond beyond jabs on Twitter.
He tweeted, "@elonmusk could respond to my tweets but failed to respond to my letter by yesterday’s deadline and answer basic questions about Twitter verification. Congress must end the era of failed Big Tech self-regulation and pass laws that put user safety over the whims of billionaires."
Additional social media users attacked Markey for continuing to threaten Musk.
"He's just not that into you," author Jim Hanson joked.
PJ Media columnist Stacey Lennox tweeted, "He opposes voter ID but is super concerned about a blue check on Twitter. Insane."
Reason contributing editor J.D. Tucciille wrote, "We should all be free to ignore pissy little government officials like @SenMarkey."
