The Washington Examiner’s Sarah Westwood lauded Tesla CEO Elon Musk for “drawing a lot of attention to the censorship that Twitter and other social media companies have engaged in.”
Westwood commented on the shake-up currently happening on Twitter as a result of Musk buying a majority of its stock, at the time he bought it, and then offering to buy the company completely.
“There’s no question there’s a slant to [Twitter],” Westwood said. “You look at all of the very prominent stories or narratives that have been suppressed by Twitter, and all of them go in one direction — all of them happen to be conservative.”

“Whether you’re talking about the Hunter Biden laptop story, whether you’re talking about a tough-on-China narrative, concerning the lab leak theory, the origins of COVID, questioning vaccine mandates. All of these things that Twitter has really prominently gone after have been, you know, opinions that are favored on the Right,” she added.
While Musk hasn’t publicly promoted one political party over another, Westwood predicted that his involvement will help the GOP.
“As long as Elon Musk is leading this conversation, as long as the attention is on the fact that Twitter does engage in this partisan ideological censorship, that is ultimately probably good for Republicans,” she said.

Westwood pointed out that the platform has decreased in popularity over the years, just as Musk alluded to earlier this month.
