Elon Musk has haters on all sides these days:
Conservatives are piling on Elon Musk after Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing revealed that Musk’s Twitter had threatened to “throttle” a documentary over instances of misgendering in it.
According to Boreing, Twitter had agreed to platform and even promote Matt Walsh’s What Is a Woman? before discovering the controversial moments in the film, at which point it promised to prevent even the Daily Wire’s followers from seeing the documentary in their feeds.
Musk has put an emphasis on the value of free expression since acquiring the social media company last year: “If free speech is lost even in America, tyranny is all that lies ahead.” Ironically, Musk made reference to the documentary just a couple of days ago.
Read this thread. We are streaming “What Is A Woman” free for all on Twitter tonight. Despite signing an agreement with us, Twitter now says they will label the film hate speech and suppress it. This is a gross betrayal of the free speech promises they have made to their users. https://t.co/KTn3CjRFSS

5/16 We accepted and signed an agreement. After we signed, Twitter asked to see the film to better understand what parts may “trigger” users, so they could better prepare their response. They said they were still all hands on deck for launch, so we sent them a screener.

6/16 After reviewing the film, though, Twitter let us know that not only could we no longer purchase the package they offered, they would no longer provide us any support and would actually limit the reach of the film and label it as “hateful conduct” because of “misgendering.”

This behavior by Twitter corporate directly opposes @elonmusk‘s commitment to free speech, and I sincerely hope he does something about it https://t.co/d5VZQdcJZF
