Project Veritas recently published a full recording of Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s virtual all-hands meeting with staff at Twitter, where the billionaire addressed the concerns of employees as he continues his bid to purchase the company.
During the call, Musk praised the Twitter platform and said that it was the best social media website for “getting a message out,” but stated that he was worried about the current state of the platform. Musk’s concerns primarily relate to bots, spam, and censorship, issues which he has discussed in the past.
In response to a question about his plans to make Twitter more open and focused on free speech, Musk stated: “I think it’s essential to have free speech.” When pressed by employees about what this would mean in the context of tweets about animal abuse, sexual content, and generally hateful or offensive messages, Musk said: “I think there’s also, there’s freedom of speech and freedom of reach, so I think people should be allowed to say…pretty outrageous things that are within the balance, the law, but, but then they don’t, you know, get amplified,”
