Elon Musk appears to think that taunting a powerful lawmaker over a Twitter problem caused by his own chaotic decision-making is a good way to handle receiving a warning from the Federal Trade Commission.
Sen. Ed Markey on Sunday morning tweeted in response to astory noting how a reporter was able to impersonate the senator within minutes of shelling out $8 for a Twitter Blue subscription. “Allowing an imposter to impersonate a U.S. Senator on Twitter is a serious matter that you need to address promptly,” Markey wrote in a Twitter statement, demanding answers by Nov. 25. “Twitter must explain how this happened and how to prevent it from happening again.
” But Musk had no substantive answers for how his company continually allows such impersonations to happen—especially ones like Markey’s where his actual official account was already verified on the platform.
