Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy is calling on the federal government to investigate national security concerns raised by Saudi Arabia’s role in Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter

. Saudi Arabian Prince Alwaleed bin Talal helped Musk finance the $44 billion acquisition of Twitter by rolling over his \n \n existing $1.9 billion stake in the social media company. The move makes Saudi entities the second-largest shareholder in Twitter – behind only Musk himself.

an interagency committee chaired by the US Treasury Department, reviews takeovers of US businesses by foreign buyers and has the ability to block transactions that raise concerns. Even though Musk already closed his takeover of Twitter late last week, it may still be subject to national security review.

I believe Musk's deal should be further investigated

U.S. administration could prevent Musk's deal and sabotage it, but it allowed it for months even they now he can get access to all official twitter accounts.

Yet the senator has no security concerns when the Biden family goes into business with a top Chinese intelligence official who was subsequently indicted for bribery. Weird.

Really?

preparense

We need an investigation reopened on operation mocking bird!

Y TODAVIA APOYANDO ESTE A LOS PEORES ENEMIGOS DE LOS EEUU FUERA CORRUPTOS TRAIDORES

🤔 And so it begins. The fascist Dems will do everything in their power to control or destroy media outlets and Big Tech. Boy, are they in for a big shock next week.

How about a look into Hunter Biden's dealings, or Eric Swalwell's dalliances with Feng Fang, or Joe Biden's coercion of Ukraine, or Fauci and Wuhan, or the timing of trading for the entire congress. You are terrible at your job.

Why was this not a concern when libs ran twitter? When they defined the 'truth' then censored any who disagreed. Doesn't matter, in a few days they will be a minority.

Of course they are. That's what they do.

They have access to profits generated, not individual's information, etc. Get a grip, and stop the Lib's incessant tactic of creating the appearance of risk, just because you can't stand someone having significant stature in society if they don't agree with 'tenets' of your ilk

Did CNN actually look for a picture of Elon in a scarf that they think looks middle eastern to their ignoramus audience to create an impression of association with Saudi Arabia 😂

Always something lol

Any reporting on Hunter Biden laptop ? Biden family business? Open boarders? Record illegals crossing? Record amount of Americans dying from fentanyl crossing the border? Record inflation caused by democrats? School children 3 years behind because democrats closed the schools?

He is 11 years behind the investment ball. Maybe his campaign finances should be scrutinized Midterms2022

Elon, they’re really very afraid of you Well done! I hope that investigation gets squashed asap. Let the man just get on with what he’s doing. Go raise money to house the homeless & feed the poor and help the immigrants instead wasting money on stupid investigations

Uuuuooopppppsssss!!!!!!!

It's weird he has no issues with China buying our farmland

Bit late now

elonmusk what's cooking?

Why would there be national security concerns on ownership of a social mediw platform? I thought if people didn't like it, they could just leave and start their own?

What about China and TikTok?

Democrats are suffering chest pains since they're not controlling free speech anymore

Wasn't a problem for him two weeks ago when they were a huge investor in twitter, why is it now?

Hmm, SpeakerPelosi bought over $1m in Tesla , called for oil sanctions, seemingly wouldincrease prices of gasoline, making electric cars a better value. elonmusk spreads lies about an attack on her husband, now TheDemocrats wants to investigate him? Why now?

The Kingdom is a holding company listed in Tadawul “Stock market” and Saudi Arabia has no role in the takeover of Twitter, the company has invested in Twitter since 2011, and its economic investment

All the American media are talking about SaudiArabia.. They know the value and importance of this country.. But there are those who want to spoil the relationship between the two countries

Nahhh Pretty hot issue...🔥🔥🔥

Any concern about other questionable goings-on in DC?

🤣🤣,leave the guy alone.

should instead spend the time and money investigating the congressman who had a relationship with a chinese spy

Let’s discuss this before you run your mouth.

Let’s investigate cnn’s role in lying to us about everything.

Independent thinkers drive Dems crazy.

Yet TikTok is ok 😂

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Maybe go investigate Hunter Biden instead

But the senator does not question when Chinese Companies buy large amounts of US land

Arrest Musk melon head already.

How about Saudi’s $2B ‘investment’ in Jared

This photo of Elon makes him seem suspiciously sympathetic to Saudi Arabia.

Lol this is the dumbest thing ever. Zero research encompassed this request for investigation. Yikes 😬

william_onono what's up

Hahaha leftist extremists are getting in quick before he releases any info 🤣

This is why the Republicans are winning. Absolutely ridiculous.

Do you like polydoge? The dog on the polygon is very cute

Why wasn't Saudi ownership of a large stake in Twitter an issue before Musk acquired the company? More lies and hypocrisy from Democrats.

I think if an eagle farts in bidens face you’ll blame it on Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

I will just say the Hypocrisy on the left, and desperation to kill our freedom of Speech, let just say speechless!

Spin again

CNN = fake news

CNN’s demise can’t come soon enough. Now they won’t be artificially boosted and astroturfed by the Twitter cartel they want to destroy Twitter.

What about national security concerns raised by China's role in Joe Biden's takeover of the United States?

Hmmm, seems like suddenly the government is leaner by to the “private social media companies can’t do whatever they want” side.

Could they also investigate saudi arabias political donations and what that buys them?

Always better than to ask for healthcare.

Are you serious?! This is so pathetic!

Is Chris Murphy a conspiracy theorist?

Remember when Dementia Joe tried to kiss their ass and they laughed and made fun of him ?

OMG! STOP!!! Your done!

So the whistleblower testimony to congress partnered with the evidence supporting the claims do not deserve investigations. The Saudi Prince’s feelings, the country that financed 9/11, is more important to the Democrat. Ok

Has the Russian narrative run it’s course?

I think they're scared, Elon.

Y'all deserve prison

The Left hates free speech and independent opinions. It threatens their Fascism and Group Think narrative. Pathetic.

Clown news network 🤡

This is so pathetic

OK, right after they finish the Biden Family Ukraine China connections

Communist News Network

Really wow, and I can't any news coverage

This is an issue of Food

No. Common. Sense.

Whether is Musk, True the Vote, DeSantis, Trump, or anyone that is a political enemy, this is the most corrupt administration of all time. Using the FBI, DOJ, IRS, and other means to target political opponents. Why does Murphy care now and not before?

Talk about Faccist Democrats or Communists, they are both Socialist ideologies.

You guys are so incredibly daft

But Tik Tok is great for America?

Why didn’t he call for this two weeks ago when the same Saudi owned the same Twitter?

As soon as they're done investigating the China and Ukraine role in every Biden financial dealing.

Saudi Arabia was already Twitters biggest shareholder before Elon took over.

What are Dems so afraid of, that he won't agree to ban stories that they don't like?

Now do China with TikTok and Russia with Facebook?

Maybe the US government should sanction the oil from SA and Tesla from Elon. Are you kidding?

They Owned great part of it before Elon so wtf is he talking about?

Well, hope your bogus investigation goes real well. 🖕

This is actually pathetic No matter what side of politics your own. People need to stop politicizing everyday life. That shit is annoying.

'by rolling over his existing $1.9 billion stake in the social media company. ' Which means that the prince had owned his share for some time. Now all of a sudden there is security concern? Or is it simply to investigate/ bug Elon?

No more investigations until Hillary and the DNC are tried for the Russian hoax.

More misleading info. He was involved prior to the acquisition.

Monopoly, they all want the same. We need to redefine Monopoly. Those whales of economic development, tycooons, all want the same the everything company.

How about you stop obsessing over Trump and Elon and do what you were created for. Report the news and verify it. Stop quoting various unnamed sources and do your job.

Docs show Facebook and Twitter closely collaborating w/ Homeland Security & FBI to police “disinfo.” Plans to expand censorship on topics like withdrawal from Afghanistan, origins of COVID, info that undermines trust in financial institutions.

😆

Chris is fine with China owning TikTok, which manipulates and spies on all Americans

LMAO, now it's sEcUriTy cOncErNs, go investigate Tik Tok, those had China hand print all over it, no?, because it's 'on your side of the aisle'?

Partisan hack.

Translation: We need to find something.... Anything.... to go after Elon and force him to stop letting people speak freely!!

What is the foreign investment percentage in Warner Bros/Discovery?

Embarrassing for the Senator. The Saudi Prince has been one of Twitter's biggest shareholders for over 10 years. They had no role in the Musk takeover beyond holding their existing position. Democrats are desperate.

Jackoffs

HERE WE GO!!! First it was 'Russia is responsible for Trump winning the election' and now THIS? Just HOW DESPERATE is the Left?

Meanwhile y'all fine with Tiktok, Google, Alphabet and all those Big Tech selling soul to China if not you yourselves. I mean... at least hide your smear campaign next time. Holding pair of aces... not.

🤦🏻‍♂️

what fake ass news you did up on rocket 🚀 man 👨

🧐🧐

Cause the fed was proven trying to tell Twitter what stuff to label fake

The Republicans are winning
