(SNews) – Twitter CEO Elon Musk set the mainstream media straight about free speech. He called out the media for ‘attacking free speech’ and still ‘think they’re the good guys.’
He also pointed out that it is mostly conservatives getting banned on social media platforms. A Twitter user said:
“Imagine if @ElonMusk were actually the right-wing bogeyman these spoiled lefty journos pretend he is and he decided to turn the tables and ban all left-wing ‘fake news’ from @Twitter. There’d be nothing left for them to publish!”
Musk said: “As is obvious to all but the media, there is not one permanent ban on even the most far left account spouting utter lies.
We don’t hear much about Democrats and leftists being let back on Twitter. Why? Because they were never kicked off in the first place. Their lies and misinformation simply escaped all scrutiny. Censorship has been deployed as a one-way operation against conservatives @elonmusk

“Not even Associated Press with their completely fictional report on Russian missiles hitting Poland that carried severe consequences for escalating the war.
“It is shocking how many journalists viscously attack free speech, but somehow think they’re the good guys!”

“Correct.”

One of the most incredible examples of a country changing its mind on an issue.
Without free speech, the incredibly unpopular 1958 viewpoint that said "there's nothing wrong with interracial marriage" would never have seen the light of day. pic.twitter.com/oPQXo99O56
