New Twitter owner Elon Musk is proving himself to be a formidable troll-in-chief.
By contrast, many of those on the right, who have railed against Twitter enforcing its policy guidelines against hate speech and misinformation, have hailed Musk’s acquisition as a victory for “free speech.” Musk, who did not respond to a request for comment, has publicly criticized Twitter for what he views as its censorship of those who repeatedly violate the platform’s rules.
The headline for the story was tweeted by right-wing YouTuber and podcaster Saagar Enjeti, who wrote on Twitter that “ Vijaya Gadde, the top censorship advocate at Twitter who famously gaslit the world on Joe Rogan’s podcast and censored the Hunter Biden laptop story, is very upset about the takeover.” Enjeti was referencing Twitter’s decision to temporarily block a link to a highly contentious story about the alleged contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, on the grounds that it violated the platform’s policy about sharing hacked materials.
In a reply to Enjeti’s tweet, Musk repeated the criticism of Gadde — ostensibly, soon to be one of his new employees — to his 86 million followers, stating, “Suspending the Twitter account of a major news organization for publishing a truthful story was obviously incredibly inappropriate.” As a consequence, Gadde has been subject to intense racist and misogynistic invective on Twitter and platforms like Telegram.
