Appearing on Joe Rogan’s podcast Tuesday, X owner Elon Musk laid out how Twitter was acting as an arm of the government before he took over, and was “completely controlled by the far-left.”
“The degree to which Twitter was simply an arm of the government was not well understood by the public,” Musk said, adding “And it was whatever, everything was like Pravda basically, a state publication, is the way to think of old Twitter. A state publication.”
“There was basically oppression of any views that, even I would say, be considered middle-of-the-road,” Musk continued, adding “certainly, anything on the right, and I’m not talking about far-right, I’m just talking mildly right.”
“Republicans were suppressed at 10 times the rate of Democrats. That’s because old Twitter was fundamentally controlled by the far-left. It was, like, completely controlled by the far-left,” Musk asserted.

not a news flash
Well no sheet. They control most speech in the media and academia too. Rennasaince thinking is over/
Must be nice to have that much FU money. :-)
So it’s only partially controlled by the far left now?

As far as I'm concerned Musk can do whatever he wants on his own time.
He has played a big role in saving what is left of western civilization by clearing the leftist censors out of Twitter.
I admire Elon Musk for his courage.
“was”? I think “is” would be more correct.
No, no, no.
He went through the charade of that while continuing to do the Biden admin’s unconstitutional bidding of censorship.
He also went through the charade of releasing the ultimate limited hangout of records of what they were up to, without releasing the hard evidence.
He’s fooled you among many others. He’s been a Deep State government front man all along—like Zuck, Dorsey, Thiel and many others.
He certainly has the deep state loving leftoids fooled then they hate him for what he has done to Twitter.
That’s part of his being sent over to “our team” (wink, wink).
That is his business and he doesn't need your approval for his life style.
I'm not a twatter or X'er so I don't really know if that platform has changed all that much, but from what I've read it seems to be substantially better.
For that he deserves credit and if you disapprove of his life style, send him an X message.
I don’t care about his lifestyle, but he’s being set up as a conservative icon, which is ridiculous—and people are falling for it. I include you in that category.

Wrong, there are still liberal trash working there.
Still is.
I don’t give two poops about his lifestyle.
I do care about how presumed conservatives like yourself have been taken in by him.
The Government still controls Twitter.
The the 100k+ anons that were suspended on That January 6th, still have not been re-instated, despite appeals.
It must be assumed that all major communications systems are arms of the government.
We must force the 1rst amendment to apply to every large communications system.
