US Republicans plan to ‘roll out red carpet’ for Musk to testify at Biden hearings

US Republicans want the Twitter owner and CEO Elon Musk to testify before the US House Oversight Committee next year after he revealed how his predecessors censored stories damaging to the Biden family.

Musk has already done “a great service” to the committee, incoming chairman of the House Oversight Committee Kentucky Republican James Comer told the New York Post in an article published Saturday morning.

“I have reached out to Elon Musk through backchannels to tell him that we would love for him to come before the committee . . . I’m pretty confident he’s going to provide more information, but he is welcome to come before our committee. We will roll out the red carpet for Elon Musk,” Comer told the newspaper.

Last week, Musk released what he called the “Twitter Files,” delving into the company's decision to block the Hunter Biden laptop story.

The posts focused on the controversy surrounding Biden’s son Hunter Biden and Twitter’s reaction limiting the spread of posts about it.

Trump suggested the possibility of "termination" of the US Constitution’s rules regarding elections to overturn the results of the disputed 2020 presidential election.

He said the founding fathers of the United States did not want “fraudulent elections” in the country.

The New York Post published a story in October 2020, less than a month before Election Day, alleging that Hunter Biden used his influence to connect a Ukrainian businessman with his father while he was serving as vice president.

Twitter banned the sharing of links to the Post story. The story, and later articles that followed, alleged that Hunter Biden potentially earned tens of millions of dollars introducing foreign contacts – among them Mexican, Chinese and Ukrainian businessmen – to his father.

Documents released by Musk showed that some of Twitter’s former senior executives – including legal head Vijaya Gadde, safety chief Yoel Roth, and General Counsel Jim Baker – deliberately suppressed the story and removed election-related tweets on behalf of the FBI and other government agencies.

Musk also revealed that Twitter moderators regularly deleted content at the request of “the Biden team,” and had decided to suspend Donald Trump’s account months in advance.

“[Musk is] doing a great service to the Oversight Committee and America by disclosing all of the emails and correspondence between the Biden campaign and the Democratic National Committee and Twitter,” Comer continued. He added that Gadde, Roth and Baker have all been summoned to testify about their role in the censorship operation.

Analyst: Big Tech, US government conspired to elect Biden

An American political analyst and journalist says Big Tech conspired with the Washington establishment “to hide evidence of the corruption of the Biden family until after the 2020 election.”

Comer and incoming House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan announced last month that they will lead a thorough probe into the Biden family’s foreign business dealings.

“I want to be clear,” Comer stated at the time. “This is an investigation of Joe Biden, and that’s where the committee will focus in this next Congress.”

Trump and many other Republicans believe that the election was rigged by the US establishment in favor of Biden. Trump has said that the 2020 presidential election was “the greatest Election Hoax in history.”

He previously accused Twitter and Facebook of helping Biden to win the controversial 2020 election.

Comer sent a letter to Musk in late October, requesting him to provide corporate information about the 2020 presidential election.

“Following your recent acquisition of Twitter and pledge to make the social media platform a place ‘where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner,’ we hope you will correct this error made by the company’s former leadership and provide Americans with transparency. To that end, we request Twitter provide information regarding its previous leaders’ decision to limit the information that may have affected the 2020 election,” Comer wrote on October 28.
