Twitter employee reportedly admits 'commie' company 'censors the right': 'Twitter does not believe in free speech'
May 17, 2022
Project Veritas has recorded what is purported to be a Twitter senior engineer insisting that the company is "commie as f***" and openly "censors the right."
What are the details?
In a slew of hidden-camera video clips, senior Twitter eningeer Siru Murugesan told an undercover Project Veritas journalist that the company doesn't subscribe to the notion of free speech.
“Elon [Musk] believes in free speech,” Murugesan said, noting that many of his "left, left, left, left, left" colleagues are distressed over what may happen if Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's Twitter purchase goes through.
In a news release obtained by Blaze Media, Project Veritas stated that those colleagues who are opposed to Musk's takeover are "stress-eating" and "worried for our jobs."
“Our jobs are at stake — he’s a capitalist, and we weren’t really operating as capitalists, more like very socialist,” Murugesan insisted. “We’re all like commie as f***.”
He added, "I think it’s just like the environment, like you’re there and you become like this Commie — they call it ‘Commifornia.'"
“Twitter does not believe in free speech,” Murugesan insisted, adding that the company is "actually censoring the right, and not the left."
“It’s true," he said. "There is bias. It is what it is today.”
He added that he's not sure "if two parties can truly coexist on one platform."
Murugesan elsewhere added that Twitter employees did their best to "revolt against" a Musk takeover.
“We did all we could to like, revolt against it," he insisted. "A lot of employees were revolting against it, but at the end of the day, the Board of Directors have the say.”
Twitter has yet to publicly speak on the allegations at the time of this reporting.
