President Joe Biden said he would support a U.S. government review of the foreign investors backing Elon Musk's $44 billion Twitter purchase.
"I think that Elon Musk's cooperation and or technical relationships with other countries is worthy of being looked at," Biden said during a post-election news conference at the White House. "Whether he is doing anything inappropriate — I'm suggesting that — I'm suggesting that it's worth being looked at."
Responding to a reporter's question, Biden didn't confirm whether the U.S. government is currently retroactively reviewing the purchase, butindicate the Treasury Department's Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States — tasked with investigating foreign investments in U.S. transactions — could be reviewing the Saudi ties.
Asked how a U.S. review would take place, Biden said, "there's a lot of ways," but declined to elaborate.
