from conservatives in the United States and elsewhere, who argue that the companies went too far in silencing Trump. Many right-leaning leaders praised Musk for reinstating Trump and pledging to create laxer rules on content moderation.
Democrats and some left-leaning advocacy groups however have opposed Trump’s reinstatement on social media platforms —Social media platforms have struggled to balance the need to enable the public to view potentially newsworthy but divisive posts from world leaders, with their content moderation policies and the potentially harmful consequences of that rhetoric.
I don’t trust Elon Musk because he speaks from both side of his mouth. He craves attention and wants to feel important.
Both sides will have equal chance for propaganda and conspiracy theories. Commendable.
In the grand scheme of things, who gives a flying fuck about Twitter?!
Ban all politicians from social media.
Twitter is a private business and does not need to be fair, fox isn't, so why twitter
I think we’ve all seen this man’s word is worth nothing
That’s a laugh
Oh good does that mean he’s leaving
Hei... washington post.. are you still lying like shifty schiff...?
Because we know how “fair” the GOP is interested in being to Democrats. 🤦♂️
When you give rapists, sex traffickers, child sex abusers, nazis, racists, etc. a platform and equal time, you're not being balanced. you're an enabler.
So lying is allowed. No matter what it is you are saying. No matter what. At the basic yo.
Mr. Twit goes to Washington - get over your obsession with social media, please, you’re better off going to Mars.
Hakeem is a liar and peddlar of misinformation. Musk should not even talk to him.
Soap Opera Digest is a better paper than the Washington Post.
Elon to ensure that when he stop mocking the left and supporting the right no matter how ridiculous and untrue the situation
Did he stop by to apologize to Paul & Nancy? He seemed to enjoy poking fun at the incident.
What about ensuring that Twitter supports the interests of the US and does not broadcast lies and myths?
McCarthy and Jeffries run Twitter?
Silly article.
Sure
The meeting was not scheduled, according to CNN reporter Oliver Darcy, who cited an aide to Jeffries. Jeffries was reportedly in a meeting in Speaker McCarthy's office when Musk came in. 'It was mostly an introduction,' the aide reportedly said.
But it isn’t!
Only passed Jeffries in the hall, no meeting.
The duopoly of corporate greed wheeling and dealing nonstop with its providers! Can we have a real multi party democracy free of corruption?
Yeah - “Musk SAID”… problem is, the guys a liar. There was NO MEETING
🤣🤡🤣🤡🤣🤡🤣🤡
Yeah whatever that means
Fairness = truth, facts
Biggest story:
Shouldn’t twitter require a simple intelligence test before joining?
Oh yea🙄
Was Elon laughing the whole time?
He loves attention.
Lol. Hakeem now wants to be fair to both parties? He didn’t have that same thoughts when they suppressed conservatives, or any one that rejected their tainted left wing narrative propaganda.
Did Elon apologize for telling revolting lies about Nancy Pelosi’s husband after he was violently attacked by a man acting under the influence of right wing propaganda?
Is that just before or after he said we should vote Republican?
While a private company is free to pursue whatever strategy it desires, being 'fair' to an org that is marinated in lies, crimes, fascism, sedition, racism, bigotry, grifting, and anything else that serves these ends for the sake of raw power should cause it to be rejected. GQP
Take this tweet down because we now know his comments didn’t reflect reality. Do better.
Musk, did you Lie?
I thought Musk took a poll and announced he would no longer run Twitter. Am I mistaken?
Your job is to investigate and report accurate news. Not to repeat what a liar said. elonmusk DID NOT meet with hakeemjeffries. He literally bumped into him. Maybe try NOT being a megaphone for a megalomaniac's blatant lies.
Looks like the Jeff Bezos owned Washington Post will be under the microscope…
Right. 🙄
he did not seek out Jeffries...Hakeem just happened to drop in to McCarthy's office and bumped into Musk. Please dont make this a 'how can both parties save Elon's ass', ok?..and Id bet a buck (of his) that he's up to no good.
Good. Fairness to both sides.
You may both tell the rest of your parties they are on the unlimited liars plan. They can say whatever they want on or platform.
What about excluding factually deranged maga nut jobs and Russian disinfo?
Meeting someone and having a meeting with someone are two different things. He lied to seem nonpartisan to his follower.
Watch Jeffries whine about it.
Really ?!! I call bullshit. Musk has no desire to ensure fairness to both parties. He's all about dissension, disruption & pushing the MAGA agenda.
Please. Enough with the trash
Just two parties? Is that all the opinions he can stand? My man, there are parties all over the World!
Bad misleading headline
Riiiighhht.
This misshapen knave wants to be relevant so badly it would be funny if it wasn't so sad
So far twitter seems broken.
Imagine a new iron Man movie, where he gives up his suit and works at the call center that he spent 44B to own.
post why didn’t you fact check this before tweeting out lies.
How about being fair to the American people? Guess that never occurred to Musk.
Why are you running this headline? It was not a meeting. It was a pass by and everyone knows it! Stop with the BS.
As long as the BLOCK feature is free and unlimited, I've got no problems.
Justo, somente as duas juntas, a esquerda e a direita podem dar ao povo e ao planeta o que precisamos.
This is not true. Shame on you for pushing lies.
Musk lied. He walked past Jeffries and met only with McCarthy.
Cue the triggered Lefties
Ya right !!
I love your tagline - since the WP is a billionaire's paper chilling for the corrupt party that funds them
But it was not a meeting from what we are told... So did he setup a meeting or another BS spin of a story from Elon?
But both Kevin McCarthy and Hakeem Jeffries represent the same corporate interests, they're the same party.
WaPo is left wing propaganda. Nothing more.
Why not fair to the truth?
That's like saying Russia needs to be treated fairly.
Dont have to worry about being fair if you just kick the feds out
Democraps don't deserve to be treated fairly. They are the enemy.
Musk met with McCarthy & Jeffries to discuss ensuring there would be no barriers to him destroying his own platform all by himself.
The parties are not the same. This is Elon’s “fine people on both sides” moment.
I’m convinced there are simply more hours in a day for Musk than us regular people. When is he ever not doing something? Nap more, maybe?
Who trust u trader
Elon to McCarthy - 'Russia is funneling a lot of money to me to help you guys, what's our strategy?'
:gif_sure_Jan:
Did you check? Or just take his word for it
Why the fuck would any members of our government meet with him, he is a waste of time .
Click bait. Musk only met with Republican McCarthy and not with Democrats. Fix your lead! Do better!
Really? This did not happen, why not confirm it with Hakeem before giving it a headline? Do Better
Liar 🤥 pants 👖 on fire 🔥.
'Elon Musk said'...so the WP dutifully transcribes it without even bothering to verify the claim. This is garbage journalism and an embarrassment to the medium.
This erratic, unstable fool has bought his way into every position he has had. His desperate effort to influence politics and the discourse has led him to buy twitter...unfortunately, it has also exposed him for the empty grifter that he is.
That is too much power in one person's hands. I don't care how benevolent people say they are, without guardrails( regulations), self- interest will always win.
He lied.
I trust his level of fairness more than the 'fairness' LegacyMedia affords. Your like had me banned for two years. NotFair
My man got tired of losing money 🤣🤣 all that nonsense he pulled just to arrive at the same spot where he found Twitter the moment he took over.
According to a tweet by Musk, the meeting was held in order to discuss and ensure “that this platform [Twitter] is fair to both parties.”.
we're supposed to believe the clearly biased Musk gives two shits about fairness?
Oh please…
What happens when the majority of folks following politics on twitter are left-leaning? Can they not accept that?
This guy is just Donald trump with a much better facade. Fortunately or unfortunately he can't ever be president here
anyone relying on Elon Musk to be fair is in a bad position
Glad people are focusing on the real issues.
This is how uncritically reporting what someone says helps spread lies.
Advice, elonmusk: stay as far away as possible from politicians. They are tricky devils. They love to embroil naive people in their seditious plots.
The world existed for millions of years before twitter. It really isn't that important
You literally are remaking it into a right wing tool since you bought it. Kevin isn’t satisfied yet?
'Free speech' in this country is, unfortunately, interpreted as an endorsement to suspend logic & reason and be as far left or right as humanly possible. Not saying we ban or limit free speech, just an observation I wish more in this country would acknowledge.
Oh ffs
Then meet with your employees
Elon is trying to gaslight millions into thinking he is somehow fair. It’s really quite laughable. 😂
He literally told Twitter users to vote Republican.
Generally it's a good idea to verify the statements of a known liar before putting them in a headline. Great reporting by the Washington post, will you just go under already?
Riiiiiiiiiiiight
This headline is begging for someone to create a Washington Post Pitchbot account.
Stenography is always bad journalism, WaPo, especially when you uncritically repeat the self-serving BS of someone who's made clear he thinks 'fair' means platforming bigots.
Fair? JFC report better. Fair and spreading lies are two different things
Never happened. Terrible headline.
Given that we already know this is a lie, would be great if you changed your headline.
It most decidedly is not. Musk has proven himself a grave threat to our national security. And Musk is only said to have met Jeffries. An encounter, in other words. Qevin gave the apartheid lunatic marching orders.
A 'meeting'? Go ask Mr. Jeffries if they had a 'meeting'.
He’s lying frfr
Yes, let’s make sure everyone knows that Republican lies and Democratic truths will be given equal weight. Terrific.
This guy is interested in 'fairness to both parties?'
predictable. the standards only ever point in 1 direction. if you notice the pattern, congrats you are officially at least 1 standard deviation beyond midwit
Didn’t Jeffries say he basically was introduced, nothing more? If so, this is an extremely misleading headline.
Fairness is essential
ELLON Musk says he is a hard core MAGA neofascist elitist & hates non whites…. “in fairness to both parties “… PTL!
Little Elon wants to be a king maker like Zuckerberg. Absolutely frightening.
Please stop it.
He’s like a modern Howard Hughes, but weirder
Yeah sure. My “for you” feed being a nonstop cesspool of right wing propagandists, domestic terrorists, and anti semites seems fair.
That’s progress!!
This article is already outdated. He didn't meet with both parties, only McCarthy. He said Hi to Jeffries as he left McCarthy's office.
Misleading headline. Fix it!!
Liar.
Did you check with RepJeffries to see if he had a scheduled meeting to talk about Twitter?
But he lied.. god damn it.. be better..
Then why is my “For You” feed dominated by Marsha Blackburn (who I admittedly follow, being my “my Senator”, among 800 others) and Jim Jordan (who I don’t follow).
Nice reporting WaPo, way to check your sources
He met Jeffries for the first time, he did not meet with Jeffries!
Lol
Didn't he promise to step down as CEO?
BS
🖕🏼
