Elon Musk drew attention to a 2019 post by Kamala Harris in which she advocated suspending Donald Trump’s account from Twitter. The move comes as Harris is criticizing the Trump administration for what she describes as its suppression of dissent — following the decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel’s show from ABC indefinitely.
Harris condemned Kimmel’s suspension, calling it an abuse of power and arguing that media outlets are capitulating to threats in order to silence critical voices. She framed the incident as a broader attack on free speech.
Musk reposted Harris’s old remark with an emoji, highlighting what some see as a conflict between her current free speech arguments and her earlier position.
