Jack White is no longer on Twitter: “So you gave Trump his Twitter platform back. Absolutely disgusting, Elon.”
, with 51.8 percent suggesting that the former president’s account should be reinstated. “Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Musk wrote about his decision.
“That’s not ‘free speech’ or ‘what the poll decided’ or whatever nonsense you’re claiming it to be; this is straight up you trying to help a fascist have a platform so you can eventually get your tax breaks,” White wrote. “I mean, how many more billions do you need that you have to risk democracy itself to obtain it?”
White then complimented Musk’s work with Tesla, but said he had “gone too far” with his actions on Twitter, saying he was using his power “to promote horrible, violence-inducing liars, who are taking the country and the world backward and endangering the democracy that made you rich and successful in the first place.”
White continued by saying he supported free speech, but not in the way Musk sees it. “If I owned a gas station, I wouldn’t be selling the KKK gasoline to burn crosses either and then wash my hands as if I didn’t help facilitate hatred,” he wrote. “You took on a big responsibility with your purchase, and ‘free speech’ isn’t some umbrella that protects you from that.”
