Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said during the Twitter hearing: "You abused the power of a large corporation and Big Tech to censor Americans... I'm so glad that you are censored now and I'm so glad that you've lost your jobs. Thank God Elon Musk bought Twitter."
This was during a Twitter trial by Republican-led investigation.
Per Reuters: former Twitter executives told a Republican-led U.S. House committee on Wednesday that they made a mistake by blocking tweets about a laptop said to belong to President Joe Biden's son Hunter but said government officials were not involved.
The committee's witnesses, three former Twitter executives, said in subpoenaed testimony that they mistakenly believed the Post article contained hacked material and reversed their decision to limit its circulation on the social media platform within 24 hours.
"America witnessed a coordinated campaign by social media companies, mainstream news and the intelligence community to suppress and de-legitimize the existence of Hunter Biden's laptop and its contents," committee Chairman James Comer said at the outset of the proceedings.
Representative Jamie Raskin said it was a private company that could do as it wanted.

"It's even more important now that we have members who are actually threatening witnesses with arrest and prosecution for clearly imaginary offenses," Raskin said.
