Damning GOP Report Exposes Why the Biden-Harris FTC Targeted Elon Musk's X
Story by Ole Braatelien • 18h
Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan began targeting Elon Musk as soon as he acquired X, formerly known as Twitter, according to a report from the House Judiciary Committee published Monday.
The report listed a number of ways Khan weaponized the FTC to attack Musk after his acquisition of the company in October 2022.
Years before Musk bought Twitter, the FTC issued the company a consent decree \-- a legally binding promise by businesses to stop or correct certain practices.
Yet the FTC stalled for three years on enforcing the decree, until days after Musk bought the company. That's when Khan called for "an immediate vote" to finalize the motion, according to the report.
