No basis for investigating Musk Twitter purchase, Yellen says

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she doesn’t see any basis for a security review of Tesla founder Elon Musk’s $44 billion purchase of Twitter, despite speculation about an inquiry.

The remarks are likely to tamp down conjecture that the Biden administration will probe the acquisition, a scenario that gained footing after President Joe Biden suggested to reporters that the purchase is “worthy of being looked at” through a national security lens.
