His interview came out right when Twitter employees were looking in to quit when Elon Musk took over. According to the engineer, they also fear that the censoring of some content might stop.
Project Veritas recorded the video interview while Murugesan was making revelations. He also added that Twitter’s plan is focused on the left-wing. This plan includes censoring right-wing posts.
He said, “They hate it. Oh my God. I’m at least okay with it. But some of my colleagues are like super left.”
He said, “Ideologically, it does not make sense because we’re censoring the right and not the left.”
This boils down to why Elon Musk has been open about his complaints about the left-wing leaning on Twitter—mainly pointing out how Steve Bannon and Donald Trump are banned on Twitter while the other left-wing extremists remain on Twitter.
