SpaceX, Tesla Founder Elon Musk: A lot of People Are Super Unhappy with West Coast High Tech
By Newsweek // January 19, 2021
(NEWSWEEK) – SpaceX founder and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has labeled so-called Big Tech “the de facto arbiter of free speech,” after Facebook, Instagram and Twitter banned President Donald Trump from their platforms.
Commenting on a satirical article about Trump’s social media ban following the U.S. Capitol riots, Musk tweeted: “A lot of people are going to be super unhappy with West Coast high tech as the de facto arbiter of free speech.”
He also replied to a tweet posted by Tesla fan account @RationalEtienne reading: “West Coast high tech has to make the distinction between banning hate speech and banning speech it hates.”
Elon Musk responded: “This is an important distinction.”
Twitter said it decided to permanently suspend Donald Trump’s account “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”
