Questions I can't answer: - Why does Twitter have a PAC? - Why do only two people pay into it? - Why this last-minute donation in a pivotal house race by a platform that pretends to be neutral? - Who makes these donation decisions? - Why don't Twitter employees shut it down?

One of those two donors appears to be
@CarlosMonje, Twitter's head of public policy. And let's remember that Twitter PAC donated generously to Elise Stefanik (R) on the House Intelligence Committee. Man, I wish I was a tech journalist looking for an easy story.Show this thread -
Mr. Monje is an Obama administration veteran, so why is he paying into a fund that tried to swing a 2018 election to a Republican at the last minute? And why does it have Twitter's name on it?
