Musk, Who Acquired Twitter, Says "US Democrats Kidnapped by Extremists"
[Asia Economy New York=Special Correspondent Joselgina] Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla who acquired social media (SNS) Twitter claiming 'freedom of expression,' expressed his antipathy toward the US Democratic Party.
On the 29th (local time), according to major US media outlets, Musk stated on Twitter, "I strongly supported former President Barack Obama, but today the Democratic Party has been hijacked by extremists." He also posted an image depicting the political ideological landscape of the United States on Twitter.
This is interpreted as a tweet in response to concerns raised mainly among Democratic supporters about the right-wing extremism of Twitter after Musk, who identified himself as an 'absolutist of freedom of expression,' announced plans to ease Twitter's content regulation policies.
