Did Joe Biden Just Threaten Elon Musk?

Did Joe Biden just threaten Elon Musk?

I’ll let you decide.

First I’ll let you read the transcript of the relevant portion:

Just now:

Journalist: “Is @elonmusk a national security risk?”

Biden: “He needs to be looked at.”

Journalist: “How?”

Biden: “There is a lot of ways.”

Now I have the video for you to hear the entire thing.

The part quoted above comes right at the very end.

You can barely hear a journo should “how?” and then Biden gives his really creepy answer.

“Vwe have our vways…”

Watch here:

Here’s what the NY Post had to say:

President Biden called Wednesday for a federal investigation of billionaire businessman Elon Musk, who recently purchased Twitter with a stated goal of restoring free-speech principles.

“Do you think Elon Musk is a threat to US national security?” a Bloomberg News reporter asked Biden at his third solo White House press conference since taking office. “And should the US — and with the tools you have — investigate his joint acquisition of Twitter with foreign governments, which include the Saudis?” .

“I think that Elon Musk’s cooperation and/or technical relationships with other countries is worthy of being looked at,” Biden answered. “Whether or not he is doing anything inappropriate, I’m not suggesting that. I’m suggesting that it’s worth being looked at.

“How?” another journalist followed up.

“There’s a lot of ways,” Biden said without elaborating.

Musk, who also owns electric car maker Tesla and space-exploration firm SpaceX, formally took over the social network last month and Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal retained his long-standing stake in the company.

Biden’s own press office has said that Musk’s acquisition of Twitter is not under federal investigation. His other companies receive large US government subsidies — though Biden snubbed Tesla last year from an electric vehicle expo at the White House, apparently because it lacks a unionized workforce.

So…in a battle of wits, or really a battle of anything, who ya got?

Joe or Elon?
