Tech mogul and Twitter CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday slammed what he called “key Democratic politicians” for “coordinated” attacks on him.
Twitter user Jason Debolt provoked the response by pointing out how Democratic politicians have recently spoken out against Musk. He noted that Musk had not inserted himself into political debates prior to these interactions.
“Elon wasn’t super political on Twitter until Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren started attacking him for no reason. Then others followed. Of all the guys they could have attacked, they chose the guy most capable of helping the government solve problems. Weird choice,” Debolt wrote.
Musk responded to the tweet by agreeing and suggesting that these Democratic figures were just “actors in the political arena.”
Many on the left are sounding the alarm over Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter.
