Billionaire businessman Elon Musk admitted on Monday that the Big Tech giant has had a ‘strong’ left-wing bias when it comes to enforcing it’s policies on content.
Musk made the statements after conservative political commentator Mike Cernovich, exposed the fact that Twitter did not act to censor a post that appeared to incite of violence from Caroline Reilly who was tweeting out in support of the people attacking a pro-life group in Madison, Wisconsin,
“More of this. may these people never know a moment of peace or safety until they rot in the ground.”
To which Cernovich replied “Here you go @elonmusk, when Twitter employees invariably lie to you about enforcement policy, maybe they can explain why a verified account is allowed to incite terrorism without any care in the world about being banned.”
Cernovich also pointed out that the Babylon Bee was suspended after posting a joke in March.
Musk took notice to the tweet by Cernovich saying,
“Twitter obv has a strong left wing bias,” Musk continued,
“Like I said, my preference is to hew close to the laws of countries in which Twitter operates. If the citizens want something banned, then pass a law to do so, otherwise it should be allowed.”
Reilly has since deleted the controversial tweet and has deactivated her Twitter account.
