Elon Musk blames ‘activists’ for his Twitter moderation council lie

After reinstating accounts back onto the micro-blogging platform even after promising that decisions would be taken by a content moderation council, Twitter CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday blamed “activists” for his moderation council lie.

“A large coalition of political/social activist groups agreed not to try to kill Twitter by starving us of advertising revenue if I agreed to this condition,” he said in a tweet.

“They broke the deal.”

Several users expressed their thoughts on Musk’s post.

While one user said “leftists always break their deals. They have no sense of loyalty”, another commented: “He hasn’t even said who the members of that coalition were or what their charter was or what the terms of the deal were.”
