Owner of X, Elon Musk, has reacted to a Republican congressman’s revelation that he is being threatened with a fine for not deleting a video from his social media account.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s (R-Ga.) ally, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) took to X, formerly Twitter, to share his experience with the “House Sergeant at Arms.”
Massie said that he was warned of a $500 fine if he did not delete a video post. “Instead of fining democrats for waving flags, the House Sergeant at Arms just called and said I will be fined $500 if I don't delete this video post,” he said, adding, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) “really wants to memory hole this betrayal of America.”
The video in question was posted on Sunday, showed several U.S. House Representatives waving Ukraine’s flag. At the time, Massie’s caption read, “This is the U.S. House of Representatives under the direction of Speaker Mike Johnson. Democrats are celebrating his total capitulation with no victory for securing our border.”
