I see no constitutional basis for such a broad assertion of federal power over a private company.

Support free speech. Drive a Tesla.

He is a threat because people will be able to speak more freely on Twitter. So of course they will attack him

How can we think otherwise when we see Democrats going after anyone that does not comply with them,they start vindictive investigations on a whim,they hyper think its all about them & vigorously go after anyone they think will cramp their style of Corruption,to try to ruin them.

Then they better go after Bezos too!

Once again, government sticking its nose where it doesn't belong. Why do democrats have such a problem with the first amendment?

Dems do not like Elon's pushback on censorship.

Of course that will get the economy under control. Just like the inflation reduction bill.we are all sick of the attack on everything that's American, freedom is the thing that the left hates most.
