WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A group of 18 U.S. House Republicans on Friday sent Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) board members a letter asking them to preserve all records and materials relating to Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Chief Executive Elon Musk’s offer to purchase Twitter.
“As Congress continues to examine Big Tech and how to best protect Americans’ free speech rights, this letter serves as a formal request that you preserve all records and materials relating to Musk’s offer to purchase Twitter, including Twitter’s consideration and response to this offer, and Twitter’s evaluation of its shareholder interests with respect to Musk’s offer,” said the letter signed by the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan, and others.
