Some Democrats in the Senate are considering calling on Elon Musk to testify in Congress about his purchase of Twitter.
The lawmakers did not indicate they were concerned about the legality of the purchase, but rather about Musk’s intention to loosen content moderation in light of the billionaire’s recent comments about the importance of free speech.
Musk, who owns electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla Inc. and commercial space venture SpaceX, has said that Twitter has become “kind of the de facto town square,” a space where important conversations should be able to take place with as few constraints as reasonably possible.
