Tesla CEO Elon Musk asks vaccine skeptic Alex Berenson to elaborate on his current statement on Twitter
CEO Tesla Motors and Co-founder of SpaceX Elon Musk has re-tweeted Alex Berenson on Twitter saying, “Can you say more about this…pressures that the government may have placed on Twitter..”
Vaccine skeptic Alex Berenson who was suspended from Twitter last year for supporting the anti-masker campaign, dismissing the COVID-19 death toll, and spreading misinformation regarding Covid vaccines.
Reportedly he resorted to legal options against Twitter and told his readers in a news report, “I am still considering my legal options, including what lawyer or firm to hire. A potential suit is complex and would cover-at minimum-First Amendment issues, contract law, and drug/vaccine law.” He further added, “A lawsuit may be expensive, and I appreciate your offers of donations. Several very wealthy people have offered to help as well, and my strong preference is to rely on them if possible; I don’t think people with mortgages to pay should be subsidizing this fight unless there is no choice.”
Twitter responded that the suspension was necessary for violating the platform’s rules against spreading medical misinformation.
According to sources on July 6 he again posted the screenshot of his Twitter suspension notice after being able to access his Twitter account. His tweet claimed that his previous tweets should not have led to a suspension and the suspension was due to the government’s pressure on the company.
He said, “Except I need to add one thing. The settlement does not end my investigation into the pressure that the government may have placed on Twitter to suspend my account. I will have more to say on that issue in the near future.”
Mr. Musk has asked him to elaborate on the part where he claims that the social media platform is being regulated by the government since the Twitter has its own set of regulations and community standards. Thus Mr. Berenson’s remarks on the privacy policy of Twitter which is now being owned by the Tesla CEO are clueless.
