Elizabeth Warren lived much of her professional life as a fraud. She claimed to be Cherokee without any demonstrable factual basis in order to climb the law professor ladder to Harvard. She lied, and lied, and covered up, and only when she couldn’t cover up anymore and it was hurting her 2020 presidential primary campaign, did she give a tepid non-apology apology.
We documented her Cherokee ethnic fraud in greater detail than anyone at our ElizabethWarrenWiki.org website. Read it. It eviscerates both her claim to be Cherokee and her supposed “family lore” stories like her parents’ alleged elopement and her Aunt Bea “high cheekbones” story.
Not only did she misappropriate Cherokee identity, she mocked them with absurd non-native recipes in the Pow Wow Chow Cookbook:
Imagine living so much of your life in a lie, and then having a holier than thou attitude on just about everything in politics. She has never been held accountable.
But wait, that’s more. Warren misrepresented her private legal practice while a law professor as trying to help the little guys and gals against big bad corporatation, when the reality was the opposite. Warren was a corporate shill and raked in hundreds of thousand of dollars.
She also is a serial fabulist, telling absurd stories about being the first nursing mother to take the New Jersey bar exam, having been sexually harassed by an old professor, and having lost a job due to pregnancy.
Warren also maintained an office for the practice of law in Massachusetts without a license.
But more than an ethnic fraudster and fabulist, Warren made a name for herself in academia as reportedly having “sharp elbows.” Indimidating and bullying people into submission was her academic persona and it carried over to politics. She loves to threaten people using her Senate perch.
Elon Musk felt her wrath long before he purchased Twitter.
Warren, like many left-wingers, also is upset with Musk’s purchase of Twitter.
Speaking on “The Late Show” Wednesday, Warren told host Stephen Colbert that she is opposed to the social media platform being owned by anyone with the level of power and riches held by Musk….Twitter is “most used to promulgate political idea and argument,” Colbert said, bringing up the topic of who should be making the decisions that determine what content is posted on the platform.Warren described how she sees the calculus at play behind those decisions.“Somebody is going to make the decisions about what we see on Twitter. It can be made out in the open, it can be made in public, it can be made by a commission… or it could be made by one billionaire in a very dark room based on whatever is running around in the middle of his head,” she said.“I don’t think any billionaire ought to be the one who has that kind of power, to decide how Americans, how people around the world get a chance to talk to each other,” Warren said. “I got a real problem with him.”
Warren never spoke out when conservatives were purged from Twitter under the old regime. She doesn’t care about the integrity of the platform, she cares about power to control political speech that she and other Democrats see slipping away. That’s fine, she has a right to be a hypocrite, but how Warren is going about it is not fine.
Rather than addressing the Twitter handling directly, Warren has sent a letter to Tesla’s Board of Directors suggesting that Musk has violated his duties to Tesla in the running of Twitter.
The NY Times reports, “Elizabeth Warren Prods Tesla About Elon Musk and Twitter – In a letter to board, the Democratic senator asks whether the carmaker’s investors have been harmed by the billionaire tech mogul’s time running the social network.”
Now, DealBook is first to report, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts, is taking aim at an issue with more serious potential legal consequences: whether Mr. Musk has created a series of conflicts of interest with and misappropriation of resources from Tesla, the electric carmaker he also runs.
“As you know, it is the legal obligation of Tesla’s board to ensure that its C.E.O. is meeting all his legal responsibilities and serving as an effective leader,” Ms. Warren wrote in a letter to Robyn Denholm, Tesla’s chairwoman, on Sunday night. (Ms. Denholm did not respond to a request for comment.) While the chaos at Twitter isn’t Tesla’s concern, Ms. Warren raised the possibility that many of Mr. Musk’s actions may be shortchanging Tesla.
Ms. Warren asked whether Mr. Musk’s diverting of resources from Tesla — including software engineers and senior executives — is harming the carmaker. In her letter, the senator also questioned whether Mr. Musk’s assertion that their being seconded to Twitter was purely voluntary, citing an anonymous employee who told CNBC, “most would also feel it was impossible to turn down a direct request from Mr. Musk without later facing poor performance reviews or other consequences.”
Ms. Warren also suggested the possibility of Mr. Musk intentionally shortchanging either Twitter or Tesla to benefit the other, including Twitter potentially overcharging Tesla for ads or tweaking the social network’s algorithms to benefit the carmaker. She also asked the board whether content appearing on Twitter under Mr. Musk’s new content moderation, including a rise in misinformation and what the senator said was hate speech, could end up hurting Tesla’s reputation.
Ms. Warren asked Tesla’s board a dozen questions about whether it was aware of the extent of the potential conflicts of interest and whether it had imposed guardrails to protect the carmaker and its shareholders. (That included asking if the board had gotten assurances that Musk wouldn’t tamper with Twitter’s algorithms to aid Tesla, to avoid antitrust violations.)
“The problems identified in this letter are not merely theoretical,” Warren wrote, noting that Tesla’s stock has fallen sharply this year and remains under pressure. That includes both the perception that Mr. Musk is distracted and his disclosure of billions of dollars worth of stock sales, with the prospect of more, which could be used to help out Twitter or meet margin requirements for loans he took out to buy the company.
Does Warren care about Tesla shareholders? About as much as she cared about the Cherokee whose identity she misappropriated, whose culture she mocked, and whose history she exploited for her own advancement. When a Senator sends such a letter to a company, it’s not to obtain information, it’s an implicit threat.
Nope, this isn’t about Tesla or its shareholders. If those shareholders think Musk has violated any legal duties, there are hundreds of lawyers champing at the bit to bring that case. The shareholders don’t need Elizabeth Warren.
Warren just thinks she’s found a pressure point on Musk. It’s what you would expect from organized crime protection rackets:
Nice car company you have there, Mr. Musk, shame if something happened to it.
