“From an information tool, before Elon Musk bought it, Twitter has mutated into a tool of misinformation, toxicity, and far-right propaganda”, writes the pro-establishment, Pro-Government “Kathimerini” newspaper in Tuesday’s edition (“Twitter is being fascistised!” a university professor screams in the same report). But what was it that made Twitter “objective and impartial” before the Musk era that the liberal right is so nostalgic for today? They’re demonising Elon Musk’s X out of fear of free speech.
It was the Twitter that took down accounts and posts when they dared to question woke orthodoxy and quack “gender theory”, which in cahoots with the Biden White House blocked those who criticized the lockdowns, compulsory masks, compulsory vaccination or those who claimed that coronavirus came from Yuhan’s laboratory (including leading scientists such as Martin Kulldorff and Jay Bhattacharya, who, in order not to hurt the Democratic Party, made sure to silence the Hunter Biden scandal before the 2020 election by blocking the posting of the revelations of the “New York Post”, which in the same election censored posts by Donald Trump and his campaign at least 64 times and Joe Biden not even once. The examples are endless.
This is the Twitter that the mainstream tabloids are nowadays nostalgic for, a branch of the American deep state and the Democrats that summarily blocked any opinion that challenged the institutions of the regime. That is why they hate and demonise Elon Musk: not because he censored them (left-liberal accounts still dominate Twitter) but because, for all his errors and omissions, he finally let the other point of view be heard. You see, the progressives who rule us, fear nothing more than freedom of speech.
