Cruz has been hit with a no small amount of mirthful backlash after he outlined his concerns about space pirates.
Senator Ted Cruz has called out Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey after the social media platform collated tweets reacting to his statements on space piracy, a move the Republican politician characterized as snarky.
“Since the ancient Greeks first put to sea, nations have recognized the necessity of naval forces and maintaining a superior capability to protect waterborne travel and commerce from bad actors,” Cruz said Tuesday.

Cruz was putting his weight behind the Trump administration’s plan to create a Space Force, which congressional estimates say would cost in excess of $2 billion to get off the ground. According to The Hill, the Pentagon said the Space Force is a necessity as China and Russia expand their capabilities in space. Following the missile tests in Space by China in 2013, U.S. generals have called for a response to the threat against crucial military satellites.
