Is Elon Musk A 'threat' To US National Security? by bn365(op): 4:45am On Nov 12, 2022
A ''reporter'' asked Biden whether Musk's takeover of Twitter with Saudis posed a threat to national security

"I think that Elon Musk’s cooperation, and/or technical relationships with other countries, uh, is worthy of being looked at," he said, pausing several times throughout the statement. "Whether or not he is doing anything inappropriate, I’m not suggesting that. I’m suggesting that… it's worth being looked at." - Biden

NB: Democrats want to use Twitter to manufacture false consensus, and manipulate/influence public opinions and debates. Elon is not yet an Ally

Biden gave the best response. I am actually impressef at his response. This a question that doesn't have a straight forward answer as it's complex. Biden saying a straight Yes or No could affect financial markets. There is a reason why previous twitter had a compliance and risk department. Not sure if they are still in existence after the recent lay-offs.

Even Musk had used wtitter to pump financial instruments in the past. Can financial instruments affects the security of a country? Yes it can.

Can foreign trolls push narratives on a platform like twitter (mass media) like Russia did with Facebook in the past? yes it's possible.

Biden not giving a straight forward answer means he is not an expert on the topic and would leave it for the experts to investigate and come to a conclusion.

To an indiscriminate eye, thats what happened. US intel pitch questions through journalists and you can tell what's coming down the pipeline.
The US govt has been using Twitter to control info and bots accounts to force consensus. Elon wants to shut down bots on the platform. They will come after him until he falls in line or else, they will try to take over twitter in the name of national security threat
