Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., called for new 'rules' to govern Big Tech companies amid the takeover of Twitter by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
During an appearance Wednesday on MSNBC's"The Beat With Ari Melber," Warren declared that"rules of the road" were needed for Big Tech, and that decisions about large communications platforms needed to be made"as a democracy," rather than someone like Musk, who she claimed"plays by his own set of rules."
"I see that we need to make two big changes. The first one is we need a wealth tax in America. And let’s talk about how Elon’s purchase here was subsidized by tens of millions of people who've paid their taxes every year," Warren told host Ari Melber, referencing her"The second part is we need rules of the road for Big Tech. But ultimately what all of this boils down to is power," she added.
Elon Musk gestures during a conversation with legendary game designer Todd Howard at the E3 gaming convention in Los Angeles, California, U.S., June 13, 2019. Melber noted the U.S. operated on a free market, and that Musk could make Twitter a private company if he wished before asking Warren for her thoughts.
