Biden Fires Back at Musk’s Twitter Takeover
At a fundraiser in Rosemont, Illinois, President Joe Biden took a sharp jab at Elon Musk, who recently snapped up Twitter.
Mass Layoffs, No Editors
- Half of Twitter’s staff was let go this Friday.
- Only a small slice of the workforce—those who kept misinformation at bay—remains.
- “There are no editors in America anymore,” Biden said, warning that kids might not learn how to spot lies.
Advertisers on the Edge
- Brands are cutting back on spending because of worries over unchecked content.
- Musk promised to restore free speech, yet advertisers remain uneasy.
- Social media platforms—including Facebook—are part of the same problem, according to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean‑Pierre.
White House Stays on Point
Karine Jean‑Pierre told reporters this week that the administration is focused on curbing hate speech and misinformation across all major platforms.
In Summary
- Elon Musk buys Twitter & no editors left.
- Half the staff is gone.
- Advertisers pulling back.
- Biden urges smarter content checks for the younger generation.
So, while the billionaire promises a “hellscape‑free” era, folks are still waiting to see if free speech can truly coexist with responsible moderation.
