Hawley Calls on Elon Musk to Conduct Audit of Twitter

Missouri U-S Senator Josh Hawley wants Twitter’s new owner, multi billionaire Elon Musk, to conduct a “comprehensive public audit” of the social media platform. 

Hawley used Twitter to call for the audit, proposing that Musk quote, “open the books on who Twitter has shadow-banned, who’ve they throttled, and who was responsible for the egregious censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop reporting. Make it all public.” 

Hawley also sent a formal letter requesting an audit, in which he accuses the platform of long suppressing the free speech rights of conservative members. 

In February, Twitter suspended the personal account of Missouri Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler for a tweet that was considered insulting to transgender athletes.
