that details how a reporter was able to easily create a fake verified account impersonating Markey and calls on Musk to address the issue. “Twitter must explain how this happened and how to prevent it from happening again,” Markey writes.
Musk’s response? “Perhaps it is because your real account sounds like a parody.” The billionaire followed up with another tweet about an hour later, saying “And why does your pp have a mask?” in reference to the Senator’s profile picture on Twitter that shows him wearing a face covering. Markey didn’t take too kindly to Musk’s reply and warned that Congress could take action against Musk and his many companies if he doesn’t straighten things out. “One of your companies is under an FTC consent decree. Auto safety watchdog NHTSA is investigating another for killing people. And you’re spending your time picking fights online,”The senator’s concerns about impersonation on Twitter aren’t unfounded.
Damn!! That's more threating than a warning..
Who'll fix the economy your dad ?
Lol Congress can’t do a damn thing…and know it. That’s why at the end of the article, they mention Tesla 😂
HAHAHAH! 'The verge' heck off propaganda tabloid

‘Fix your party. Or people will.’
elonmusk will just move it to another country. Fuck around and find out.
As he sits in one of the most F***ed up Congresses in history.
“What we got here is some government overreach uh huh.”
Great, now you guys want to show up? HUH? Really? Wow, I feel so F**** relieved that you stated that SenateFloor , great job guys. Y'all did it! Y'all sure showed those corporate pigs! GO GET THEM TIGER.
Who’s going to fix Congress?
Ed Malarkey has sucked off the teet of sad Massachusetts for 37 years. Twitter has been around since 2006 but now this whale is sound off thru his blow hole!
I can’t wait to see him get smacked down. He’s been into pump and dump and securities fraud schemes for a hot minute
The verge is worse than any made-up lies you guys make of Elon.
Like y'all fixed USPS?
They want control of Twitter just like before. Elon took Twitter from the government and they hate it.
lol
Here is an idea....maybe the government shouldn't of given up all those regulatory power to big tech ages ago....you know who has been arguing against that? I guess it took one non-leftist to buy a tech firm for you to take notice.
Not defending elonmusk here, but the US Congress is likely the most dysfunctional and corrupt institution in the world. SenMarkey you need to fix your own house before criticizing anyone. You have no room to talk.
That’s rich coming from someone in government spending billions and trillions of tax-payers funds above what the government takes in … and our national debt is out of control! When was the last time the Fed was audited? (Crickets) Get your own house in order before lecturing.
Congress fixing something? That's amusing! Ed Markey as standup comedian.
Elon has the rockets the government needs. So congress is not the only one who can make threats!. Is the military more important than some old goat whinning like a kid?.
Typical congress.
Congress can't fix shit. Elon Musk is one of the best businessmen in history.
Congress can't fix anything. That's the problem!
Congress has zero authority.
Fix the company? How about you try to fix our government first, Ed?
Which Congress?
Using the govt to attack 1st amendment
dictatorship
Screw Malarky!!!!
SenMarkey what business is it of yours? And what’s wrong with his companies? Unbelievable.👎
🖕
The Verge LOVES posting elonmusk hate pieces. It’s in their New Hire packet guide for onboarding and training. “Must Hate Elon 101” 🤣
one shouldn't criticize ElonMusk here, but rather the WashingtonPost reporter who committed identity theft.
Thanks. As FYI: beyond tech top news, to me it looks like some aviation & buses as vehicles globally messes seem more Congress focusing key than the car salesman’s online flyer, etc. Which is not to say I don’t enjoy this story & realms of news focusing. But WTF?! 🧘♀️😊🍀🌏
how Communist of him…
“One of your companies is under an FTC consent decree. Auto safety watchdog NHTSA is investigating another for killing people. And you’re spending your time picking fights online,” Markey writes. “Fix your companies. Or Congress will.” 💯
Fix your country or your people will !
To be fair, Congress doesn’t know how to fix a company. A lot of them don’t even understand how tech works.
Congress can’t even fix themselves lmaooo
Elon does tend to shoot himself in the the foot doesn't he? Like he needs more problems (& enemies) right now 🤷♂️
Lmfao. Deserved.
I genuinely don't understand how Dems claim to promote freedom etc but they come up with things like this showing nothing but totalitarianism and dictatorship
Two points. 1. Senator was aware & agreed to someone else to impersonate his account. (As verified by the WSJ but not included here). 2. Any government official should not be allowing their account to be impersonated voluntarily 💚
I'm sure Musk is shaking in his boots.
Lol, does congress own Twitter outright? i dont think so, they are in no position to tell Elon anything.
Never gonna understand how “democrats” like to punish and prosecute businessmen (in this case one of the largest) that the only thing they do is pay high taxes, generate jobs and help improve economy. Wait, I maybe understand why…
And how will Congress fix his company without violating a private corporation's first amendment right?
Why Americans are so shocked by regulations for private companies? You have laws for citizens, why not for companies?
Senatorial Pussified threats and corrupted so far and the big guy doesn't need any offers from 'you'.
Isn’t that illegal?
Abusing political power. Nice.
Have we become the Soviet Union now?
Doubt it
