Morial, in a Monday letter to Bret Taylor (Twitter Chairman), stated that Musk “expressed concerns views” regarding content moderation. These are contrary to principles of “creating an online community safe for marginalized populations and protecting our democracy.”

Morial demanded that Twitter’s board consult the civil rights community prior to making a decision regarding Musk’s offer. He also asked Taylor for a further discussion.

Morial stated that Musk’s ownership would likely lead to many of the worrying activities we observe on Twitter. “Without key safeguards and protections, many of the troubling activities such as white supremacist propagandism, voter suppression via election disinformation and algorithmic bias, discrimination and hardening our national discourse, are likely proliferate without key protections,” Morial said. “The potential to negatively impact millions directly and our nation’s culture and democracy indirectly are exponential and should be part of your analysis in reviewing this — or any other — offer of purchase.”

Musk has been known for attacking journalists and other critics of his company and himself. He also doesn’t understand free speech.

A good indicator of whether freedom of speech exists is: Does someone who you disagree with be allowed to speak what you are against? Musk declared Thursday, at the TED2022 Conference in Vancouver that if it is so then there’s free speech.
