Twitter CEO Elon Musk said he agreed with Dinesh D’Souza regarding the social media platform’s history of targeting conservatives.
“We don’t hear much about Democrats and leftists being let back on Twitter. Why? Because they were never kicked off in the first place,” D’Souza tweeted, tagging Musk. “Their lies and misinformation simply escaped all scrutiny. Censorship has been deployed as a one-way operation against conservatives.”

There’d be nothing left for them to publish!”
