US President Joe Biden slammed the Twitter purchase by Elon Musk. The growing popularity of the social media platform might become people’s favorite floor for heated discussions. The White House leader gave an angry response to the fact that the new owner will cancel censorship and even moderation. The President accused the social platform of spreading lies around the world. Such rhetoric looks like his personal discontent with Musk’s pledge to lift Twitter’s ban on Donald Trump’s account. Following the Twitter purchase deal, billionaire Elon Musk immediately fired most of the company's top executives and board members and caused concern among shareholders. On top of that, he put the US President on edge.
“Now what are we all worried about? Elon Musk goes out and buys an outfit that sends and spews lies all across the world," Joe Biden stated his point. “There are no editors anymore. How do we expect kids to be able to understand what is at stake?" he added.
At the same time, Elon Musk who calls himself a champion of free speech posted that "Twitter needs to become by far the most accurate source of information about the world. That's our mission." “The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner," the entrepreneur commented on his deal.
