Nick Begich Claimed Twitter Had Become A “Fantastic Platform” Since Elon Musk, Who Allowed Hate Speech To Surge On The Social Media Site, Purchased The Company

Begich Said “Twitter, Now X,” Was A “Fantastic Platform For Getting Information Out There” Since Elon Musk Purchased It. BEGICH: “We’ve got to break the media stranglehold on the flow of information. And I will tell you, I believe that that happened a couple years ago when Elon Musk purchased Twitter, now X. Right that platform, whether you’re on it or not, it’s a fantastic platform for getting information out there and bypassing the filter of the traditional media.” [YouTube, Michael Dukes Show, 1:29:47-1:30:10, 7/8/24] (VIDEO)
