Elon musk tweets, says: Under pressure from hundreds of activist employees

Twitter Deplatforms Trump Under Pressure from Activist Employees

In a surprising move, Twitter has deplatformed President Donald Trump, even though the company acknowledges that he did not violate their rules. The decision comes after hundreds of activist employees at the social media giant pressured the company to take action against the President.

The move has sparked a fierce debate about free speech and the power of social media companies. Critics of the decision argue that it sets a dangerous precedent and could lead to the suppression of dissenting voices. Supporters, on the other hand, argue that Trump has repeatedly used Twitter to spread misinformation and incite violence, and that the company has a responsibility to protect its users.

Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, commented on the decision in a tweet, saying that “the check and balance of power has always been an important part of democracy.”

It remains to be seen how the deplatforming will affect Trump and his supporters. Some have suggested that the President may turn to other social media platforms, such as Parler, to continue spreading his message. Others have called for stricter regulations on social media companies to prevent them from making controversial decisions like this in the future.

Regardless of where people stand on the issue, it is clear that this move by Twitter has significant implications for the future of free speech and the role of social media in politics.
