Billionaire political donor and Twitter CEO Elon Musk reportedly met privately on Thursday with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy as Congress prepares to open its investigation into Twitter's handling of users' posts. Musk's public embellishment of the meeting was quickly debunked by both McCarthy and a Democratic aide, who refuted Musk's claim that he had met with both McCarthy and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., to discuss partisanship in Twitter's policies.
"Just met with Speaker McCarthy and Rep. Jeffries to discuss ensuring that this platform is fair to both parties," Musk tweeted Thursday.
