BOSTON - Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey is clashing with billionaire Elon Musk and demanding the Twitter CEO fix his companies. The back and forth is over Twitter's blue checkmark policy for verified accounts that was revised when Musk took over Twitter. It started when Markey shared a statement and letter sent to Musk last week, calling out how a Washington Post reporter was able to create a user account named the @realEdMarkey, with the Senator's permission, and bought a blue check mark, indicating the account was verified.

The current employees allowed this to happen to make Musk look bad.

He should have fired ALL of them

Hey ED!

We're getting just a bit tired of your selective outrage and the corresponding use of federal agencies to attack your political enemies.

No enumerated power.

Congress needs to be fixed ... spayed and neutered.

Dear Mr. Markey

Are these empty threats?

Or are you going to use your public office to settle a personal dispute?

You know those SpaceX booster rockets that can land on their tails? Well sometimes they malfunction.

Say, right over Markey’s house in Boston...


Oops!

Hes doing just fine. Its hilarious to watch him debate his ex-employees and wanna be CEOs on Twitter calling them out and bringing receipts.

They run the biggest business in the world........ the American government.

Highest earnings (taxes), endless debt (Fed fueled deficits) when taxes don’t cover it, they control the largest economy in the world (US), and they have enormous influence on the world economy.

The US government is the biggest pot of money in the world and it makes Wall Street look small by comparison because the stock market is much more fragmented.

Follow the money.

If you want to know why American politicians “spend so much” to get elected just step back and look at the math. The best investment a person can make is in a politician on capital hill or at the WH. Biggest return on investment in history with a sweep of a pen to sign a 10000+ page bill that nobody reads.

With few exceptions it’s never about the US citizen.... it’s about control of the machine.

If you are wearing a face mask in your twitter profile picture you might be a corrupt politician or a criminal.

And by the way…you know the term that applies to governments that run business through private owners that stay compliant with govt controls…

Often overused
