Biden: Twitter spews lies across the world

ROSEMONT, ILLINOIS: US President Joe Biden said on Friday that Elon Musk had purchased a social media platform in Twitter that spews lies across the world.

“Elon Musk goes out and buys an outfit that spews lies all across the world... There’s no editors anymore in America. How do we expect kids to be able to understand what is at stake,” Biden said.

Biden made the remarks during a fundraiser in Chicago on

Friday as he warned donors about the effect the November 8 midterms would have on the coming years.

Musk, who styles himself as a champion of free-speech, acquired Twitter for $44 billion.

His plans to revamp its content moderation though have rattled advertisers.

Twitter laid off half its workforce on Friday but said cuts were smaller in the team preventing misinformation.
