Since his acquisition of Twitter at the end of last month, businessman Elon Musk has been making a lot of noise. He may have picked a fight with the wrong guy this time.

He is under investigation for murder.

U.S. Senator Ed Markey wrote on Twitter on November 12, “A reporter for the Washington Post (Twitter’s new service) has earned a paid approval badge to impersonate me. I ask this answer to Elon Musk, who is spreading illicit information and benefiting from people. Twitter Inc. explain why this happened and how it won’t happen again,” he said, criticizing the spoofing victim and accompanying it with Elon’s account.

After acquiring Twitter, Elon Musk paid for a “blue verification badge” as part of his plan to turn around the company. For a monthly fee of $8, anyone can get a blue badge. However, after the launch of this service, a number of people began impersonating celebrities and companies. A pharmaceutical company’s stock has plummeted due to fake tweets, and Twitter is in chaos.

Elon replied directly to Congressman Markey’s tweet. He wrote, “Perhaps it is because your real account sounds like a parody?” Also, why are you wearing a mask as an icon?” He responded in a playful manner.

This infuriated Senator Markey, who replied, “One of your companies is under a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) consent decree. The NHTSA, an automated surveillance system, is investigating another of your companies for “murder. And you are trying to pick a fight on the Internet. Fix your own company, or Congress will. Fix your own company, or Congress will. He revealed that one of his companies was being investigated for “murder.

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. Fix your companies. Or Congress will. https://t.co/lE178gPRoM

Elon responded, “Are you trying to tell me that the Congress is going to use their political power to attack me?” Elon responded, “Are you trying to say that the Congressman is going to use his political power to attack me?

Is Senator Markey’s statement that he is “investigating a murder charge” true? The details are not yet clear.
