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.
