Elon Musk's X Absent from Senate Intelligence Committee on Election Threats, Skips Testimony Attended by Rivals Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft

Top executives from Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee on election threats, but Elon Musk’s X declined to send a representative. The hearing focused on foreign interference in U.S. elections. X’s invited witness, Nick Pickles, resigned days before the hearing, and the company did not provide a replacement. Musk’s recent divisive posts, including the spread of misinformation and controversial comments, have raised concerns. The Committee's Chairman, Senator Mark Warner, said it was "a shame" that representatives from X were absent.
