Tesla’s Elon Musk tweeted in support of free speech and questioned Twitter’s “adherence” to it. Musk asked his followers to vote “yes” or “no” in a poll that asked his users whether the platform supported free speech.
“Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy,” he tweeted . “Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?”
Over 1.5 million people had voted in the poll as of Friday evening. Approximately 70 percent of users voted “no” while only 30 percent voted “yes.”
Musk added that the tweet’s “consequences” would be “important.”
“The consequences of this poll will be important,” he said . “Please vote carefully.”
Musk criticized Twitter’s algorithm on Thursday.
“I’m worried about de facto bias in ‘the Twitter algorithm’ having a major effect on public discourse,” he tweeted . “How do we know what’s really happening?”
He also ran a poll about the platform’s algorithm.“Twitter algorithm should be open source,” Musk’s “yes” or “no” poll asked.Over 80 percent of users voted “yes.”Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey added his own thoughts.“The choice of which algorithm to use (or not) should be open to everyone,” Dorsey tweeted .

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
