Senator Ed Markey colluded with a WaPo reporter in a scheme to damage Twitter’s reputation

As Twitchy readers know, Elon Musk and Senator Ed Markey exchanged barbs on Twitter today over the question of Musk’s $8 blue check and potential abuse of the system by impersonators.

($8 blue check sounds like a promotional Taco Bell menu item under Joe Biden’s inflation.)

The exchange (linked above) is hilarious because Musk just doesn’t respect these people and it drives them insane. It’s also quite remarkable that a sitting U.S. Senator colluded with the Washington Post to violate Twitter’s Terms of Service (TOS) and then has the gall to whine to Elon Musk that the two managed to break the rules that they set out to break. Markey then went on to threaten congressional action against Musk when the billionaire laughed him off like the clown he is.

Senator Markey did not mention that the WaPo reporter requested the Senator’s permission to impersonate him before the two launched their impersonation effort in violation of Twitter’s TOS.

We think that information might have been useful to the public, Senator Markey. Some might view this as ‘manipulation and deceit‘.

Did Musk suspend Markeys Twitter account ?

He should..

Same Markey that colluded with AOC on the Green New Deal which shows you where his real allegiance lies.

I think it's hilarious that Markey got on his high horse demanding to know how Twitter would approve a fake account he had a WaPo reporter set up and Must replied that it was probably because Markey's real account sounds like it's parody.

Elon is savage and a sitting US Senator used to having his butt licked everywhere he goes must be losing his mind to be pantsed like that in public.

Markey’s last real job was selling ice cream in the 70s.

He’s a hack’s hack!
