Elon Musk, a billionaire industrialist who is also a free-speech warrior, threw down his baton. The world’s richest man called out political disinformation when he condemned those who pushed the Steele dossier falsely claiming former President Donald Trump was tied to Russia.
In the midst of his struggle to obtain Twitter and enshrine freedom speech, MuskIt was the political establishment that is responsible for election hacking and disinformation. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) tweeted a series of statements stating that powerful liberals pushed the debunked Russiagate narrative: “Christopher Steele created the dossier. Glenn Simpson sold it the press. Michael Sussman sold it to FBI. And Democrats and the media lied to you about it all.” Musk responded by agreeing with the statements and skewered the entire American political establishment: “All true. Bet most people still don’t know that a Clinton campaign lawyer, using campaign funds, created an elaborate hoax about Trump and Russia. Makes you wonder what else is fake.”
Anonymous user commented, “Elon out for blood now. Love to see it,” to which Musk replied “I am indeed out for blood.”
Given that he has disowned them, it is not surprising Elon to torch the liberal establishment proclaimed he would vote RepublicanIn the upcoming election. “In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party,” wrote Musk in a tweet. “But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold.”
In a following tweet he quipped that he was correct in labeling the American left as being more hateful: “Judging by the relentless hatestream from the far left, this tweet was spot on.”
Musk reportedly secured a massive fortune in commitments from investment groups to buy Twitter from its liberal leadership, a new twist in Musk’s hostile takeover bid. A potential Musk offer to the Twitter board could now be considered by 46.5 billion people.
Musk famously attacked Twitter’s recent censorship of political discourse. Also, he considered opening a completely new tech company. Musk tweeted March 26, “Given that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy.”
He reiterated his support for freedom of speech proclaiming in a tweet: “Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy.” He shared a poll to his followers in the same tweet: “Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?” An overwhelming majority 70.4 percent of users who responded to Musk’s poll answered: “No.”
