Elon Musk called attempts to prevent the dissemination of Putin’s interview censorship

American businessman, founder of SpaceX Elon Musk called the information that Facebook (owned by Meta Corporation, which is recognized as extremist and banned in Russia) as a manifestation of censorship does not allow the dissemination of an interview of Russian President Vladimir Putin with American journalist Tucker Carlson.

“This is an insane level of censorship!” — Musk wrote on social network X, commenting on a post by Malaysian journalist Ian Miles Chong. According to the latter, Facebook, at the request of the White House, “significantly limited the distribution” of the interview.

“Mark Zuckerberg [Meta’s owner] appears to be prioritizing maintaining a favorable relationship with the [US President Joe] Biden administration over establishing the truth,” Jeong said. He noted that social network X, which Musk owns, “is a more reliable source of news.”
