During a Monday appearance on Your World with Neil Cavuto, Westwood said, “Twitter sort of configured their site in a lot of ways to suppress conservative voices and conservative content and artificially amplify the reach of liberal content,” referencing Twitter’s pre-Musk way of operating.

“There’s a lot of different ways that Elon Musk could come in and make Twitter a more, sort of, egalitarian place for discourse, and I think that’s why … you’re seeing a lot of progressives that are apoplectic today,” she added.
