Sen. Ted Cruz is teaming up with House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan to investigate the Federal Trade Commission's investigation of Elon Musk's Twitter takeover, Axios has learned.Republicans in both congressional chambers now will throw their muscle into investigating FTC actions and defending Musk.
"Nor could it justify infringing on the First Amendment... Congress will not tolerate any retaliation against whistleblowers."The letter asks for documents and communications with FTC officials, employees or consultants relating to the Twitter investigation or Musk's purchase of Twitter. It also asks the FTC to "explain, in writing, your justification" for asking Twitter to provide the names of members of the media who have been granted access to Twitter's internal communications and documents.It's not unusual for the FTC to investigate the behavior of big tech companies like Twitter, or for it to use so-called demand letters to ensure companies comply with consent orders.
