The Biden administration is getting increasingly desperate to block Elon Musk’s buyout of Twitter, according to a new report.
“Scoop: Biden admin officials are discussing whether US should subject some of @elonmusk’s ventures to national security reviews, including his deal for Twitter Inc., and the Starlink satellite network, sources tell @SalehaMohsin and me. @BloombergTV,” Jennifer Jacobs reported. (Tweet) “Elon Musk reacts to Biden officials’ discussions, still at early stage, on what tools, if any, are available to let federal govt to review his ventures. ‘It would be hysterical if the government stopped Elon from over paying for Twitter ,’ a reader tweeted. @elonmusk,” she added.

The Biden Crime Family has been a bigger threat to our National Security than Elon Musk could ever dream to be. This is just another attempt to silence free speech. I wonder what they are afraid that we will find out?

But what about the Chinese buying land adjacent to Grand Forks Air Force Base or the Chinese buying huge acreage in Florida to build a primate medical testing lab?
I’m guessing Twitter is a US intelligence agency in disguise and they don’t want their secret to get out.

FJB for sure! This is blatant payback for daring to question or criticize The Almighty Lord and God Joe Biden.

Sundance says Twitter is financed by the government, and used by them for influencing operations, and psyops against the general population. Sundance indicates the computer system cost requirements must be subsidized by the government. So that is the national security threat. And Musk will be accessing and uncovering all these operations.

Liberal Jeff Bezos buys major newspaper - no worries!
Elon Musk wants to buy Twitter - it's the end of the Republic!
The left was more fun when they were at least a little bit more imaginative. They're so predictable and boring now with their rhetoric. Racist or Nazi. Those seem to pretty much be the choices of the moment.

He will just have to buy 10,000 shares every two weeks. He is already the largest shareholder.

If he was worried about national security, the borders would be closed!

How come it’s never a “national security” problem when Lefties hold all the internet/media power? Only when a Republican or conservative wants a piece of the action does it suddenly become a matter of national security. Wow, talk about obvious bias.

Well that proves that Twitter has been a very useful arm of the democrat party.

This. This tells you everything you need to know about Twitter and its relationship with the US government. It was either set up as a social media front for the federal government or it was quickly co-opted as a front for the government. Musk either enters into an agreement with the feds to maintain the status quo or he gives up on his takeover. A bonus for the feds would be for Musk to back out, get sued by Twitter for backing out and having him take a huge financial hit.

Turns out, it's not legal for the government to use private companies to do things it can't constitutionally do itself. Once Musk owns Twitter and finds out from whom it got its marching orders, that crime will be exposed.

Gee, I didn't think my comments on Twitter would be a threat to National Security? I must be a lot more important than I thought. LOL

The Biden Administration does not give a damn about what is legal. It does what it desires regardless of legalities. It goes full speed ahead until it is slowed down or is stopped by courts of law, and lately it is ignoring judicial decisions that get in its way. The only solution is at the ballot box. Civil war is not out of the question if a Republican President is not elected in 2024.

How bogus is this pursuit? Musk holds billions in Air Force contracts for booster production and development. If he's a national security concern, then we have bigger problems than his desire for a social media platform.

Joe doesn’t know what national security is. He only knows what national destruction and corruption is!
