Elon Musk takes victory lap over Zuckerberg.

Sharing is Caring!

X CEO Elon Musk has branded the revelations that the Biden administration put pressure on Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, to censor COVID misinformation as a ‘First Amendment violation.’

In a letter to the House Judiciary Committee’s chairman Jim Jordan, which was published last night, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted that the Biden administration was ‘wrong’ to demand Facebook censor what they deemed ‘COVID misinformation’ during the pandemic.

Zuckerberg, 40, promised that Meta fight back against any future attempts at censorship and also admitted the company had ‘demoted’ stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop.

He wrote that the White House ‘repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree’.

Elon Musk, a self-described free speech absolutist, said the episode ‘sounds like a First Amendment violation’, in a post to X, his social media platform.
