Twitter owner Elon Musk<\/a> blasted former executives of the social media giant online after they testified in front of Congress on Wednesday, comparing them to the East German secret police.<\/p>\n

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee interviewed James Baker, Vijaya Gadde, Yoel Roth and Anika Collier Navaroli \u2014 all former executives at Twitter \u2014 in a scathing series of exchanges that have gone viral online.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The Woke Stasi felt the heat today,” Musk tweeted along with a fire emoji.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added a link to “The Lives of Others,” a movie about East German residents living under the close watch of the Stasi, East Germany\u2019s secret police force.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Musk\u2019s post went viral almost immediately, picking up over 81,000 likes and more than 6 million views in a matter of hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The billionaire’s fiery post followed closely after a widely publicized hearing in the House on Twitter\u2019s censorship of the Hunter Biden<\/u><\/a> laptop story and its alleged collusion with the government to silence conservatives on the platform, as was exposed by the Twitter Files.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The hearing itself was highly contentious, with one Republican member telling the former Twitter executives that they were at risk of being arrested.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“You, ladies and gentlemen, interfered with the United States of America 2020 presidential election<\/a>, knowingly and willingly,” Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La. said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s the bad news, it\u2019s gonna get worse because this is the investigation part. Later comes the arrest part. Your attorneys are familiar with that.”<\/p>\n

Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene called out Roth, former Head of Trust and Safety at Twitter, for allowing “child porn all over Twitter.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instead of working to ban child pornography from the platform, Greene said, Roth focused on banning her from Twitter.<\/p>\n

Rep. Byron Donalds R-Fla. sparred with Roth over the Hunter Biden laptop story, showing him links related to the laptop of President Biden’s son that were reportedly suppressed on the platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Roth responded that the links provided by Donalds depicted “non-consensual nude photos of Hunter Biden.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many Democrats attempted to downplay the hearing, calling it a biased waste of time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> claimed on Twitter that it was a flop. “Fascinating how after years of \u2018debate me!!!\u2019 cries, the moment Republicans won control of committee debates and hearings, they flopped spectacularly.”<\/p>\n

“They controlled the topic, time, witnesses, named their \u2018star\u2019 members, and STILL failed. What\u2019s going to be their excuse now?” Ocasio-Cortez asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough laughed off the hearing Thursday morning as “a witch hunt” and claimed that the Twitter Files were “the most biased thing” he\u2019s ever seen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jen Psaki, now an MSNBC contributor, agreed with Scarborough.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“[The hearing] was like a word salad of right-wing craziness.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
