One month ago we joked that should the Delaware judge force Musk to buy Twitter, then none other than the US government would step in and prevent the South African from gaining control over the blue-checkmark echo chamber of record, the one social media network which congressional testimony after congressional testimony has argued it can manipulate the outcome of elections.

Well, that prediction is about to come true, because according to Bloomberg, the Biden administration is discussing whether the US should subject some of Elon Musk's ventures to national security reviews, including the deal for Twitter and SpaceX's Starlink satellite network, citing people familiar with the matter.

In short, not only is the deep state government preparing to block Musk's acquisition of TWTR on national security grounds (unlcear what that would achieve as the stock would crater to single digits, especially after today's SNAP earnings, and so many of its employees have already quit), but it may "expropriate" Musk's satellite pet project too, all for daring to ask a question about the US involvement in Ukraine, and what exactly the endgame there is.
