A day after Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson revealed exclusive footage from January 6, Twitter CEO Elon Musk lashed out at the committee.
The tweet was in response to allegations that the committee had misled the public about the shooting death of Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick, the role of Barry Loudermilk in leading rioters on a recon mission, the flight of Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley, and the credibility of witness Ray Epps.
According to Musk, governments “put people in prison for far more horrific crimes than they did” when they keep facts from the public. The act would be illegal in some jurisdictions and morally reprehensible in general.
When someone pointed out that the BBC had reported “There have been three different unfavorable tweets on their website feed in the previous two days,” Musk replied with a similar tweet. They are choosing to ignore the fresh evidence that has emerged as of January 6th.
One @BBCWorld Twitter user recently questioned, “What do you think? You have a lot riding on this, “Musk retorted.
Michael Cernovich, an analyst, tweeted, “This has been quite the day. From the “Big Lie” debunking on January 6 to the SPLC’s propaganda in support of “domestic terrorists,” this year has been full of bogus assertions. Musk once tweeted, “We live in the golden era of truth on Twitter. Unbelievable, but true; this is the age of truth.
Musk has repeatedly demonstrated an inability to take the claims of any institution, including Congress and the media, at face value. Musk said in January that a writer at the Washington Post was “contemptible” for depicting a lefty who had reportedly championed violence as someone “documenting racist and far-right assaults.”
An ex-employee claims that Elon Musk “barred Chad Loder from Twitter by an order from owner Elon Musk.” Elon Musk was discussing a Washington Post article by Joseph Menn. Editor-at-large Andy Ngo sent an open letter criticizing Menn for omitting the fact that Antifa member Chad Loder had urged violence, including murder. The letter was published in The Post Millennial. Hence, he elevated killers like Michael Reinoehl and domestic terrorist Willem van Spronsen to the status of “martyrs” of Antifa.
“Joseph Menn is a disgusting liar,” Musk said on Twitter. Accounts that openly and repeatedly incite violence on Twitter will be deleted.
Choose the dangerous red pill, as Musk put it in his infamous comments from May 2020.
In “The Matrix,” Neo is given the option of taking a pill that will bring him back to the real world or one that will keep him in the virtual one. Conservatives often say that someone who used to be on the political left has “taken the red pill” and now shares their views.
