Washington, May 17 (ANI): Twitter doesn’t speak frankly and other people rushing towards the company hate Elon Musk’s $44 billion bid to take control of the company, said one man, who describes himself as a senior engineer on social media. giant.
A FAR-right US activist organization, Project Veritas, has released a video purportedly featuring a senior Twitter engineer, Siru Murugesan, admitting that the company has a left-wing bias and that right-handers have been blatantly censored.
Murugesan filmed saying that the corporate culture at Twitter is incredibly left-wing, saying his colleagues “hate, hate, hate” Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s takeover proposal.
According to Murugesan, Twitter’s policy was so left-wing that other people running on the microblogging site replaced its original perspectives to match the prevailing atmosphere.
Twitter recently agreed to an acquisition through Tesla’s CEO as part of a deal valued at $44 billion, though it’s still subject to shareholder approval. However, Elon Musk said the $44 billion microblogging site’s takeover bid was suspended.
Musk himself has complained about left-wing bias on Twitter. He said Twitter’s decision to ban former U. S. President Donald Trump was a mistake and that he would cancel it if his acquisition of the social media company was successful.
Asked how his colleagues reacted to the news of Musk’s inauguration, Murugesan replied, “They’re like, it would be my day if this happened. “
Murugesan said “a lot has changed” since Musk initiated the buyout procedure in April and that workers were worried about their jobs because their businesses work compared to Twitter’s “socialist” workplace.
“He is a capitalist and we were not acting as capitalists, but as socialists. As if we were all coconuts like shit.
Murugesan said the company’s operating procedures were incredibly lax and “essentially, they can do whatever they want. “
Murugesan said many members brazenly tried to thwart Musk’s inauguration and many workers rebelled against it.
After Musk took control of Twitter, Murugesan said, “Employees have warned about the ‘exodus’ of staff. “
“We did everything we could to oppose this,” he said. (ANI)
