Elon Musk has accused Twitter of allowing "disinformation" on its
platform by failing to act on a 2016 tweet by Hillary Clinton that
linked the Trump Organization to a Russian state-owned bank.
Musk, who is in the process of buying Twitter, was prompted by a user who said they had reported the tweet — a screengrab of a statement from her policy adviser in response to a Slate article — to "the powers that be" at the social media giant for "misleading disinformation."
Musk replied:
"You are absolutely correct. That tweet is a Clinton campaign hoax for
which their campaign lawyer is undergoing a criminal trial." Musk linked
to a BBC article from May 18
about a trial in which Michael Sussmann, Clinton's lawyer, has been
accused of trying to "manipulate" the FBI in the run-up to the 2016
election. Read more and see tweet here.
