Musk confirms Trump to be reinstated on Twitter
After conducting a poll on the platform, Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced the former president's account would be reinstated.
Billionaire Elon Musk called the New York Times "boring" in a tweet on Sunday and said the outlet was "far left brainwashing."
"It is tragic how far The New York Times has fallen — basically just boring af far left brainwashing at this point. The boring part is truly unforgivable!" Musk wrote in response to author Matt Taibbi.
Taibbi said that while the New York Times said that America doesn't "deserve" former President Donald Trump, the outlet does deserve him, "especially after winning a Pulitzer for a story botched across years."
He included screenshots of New York Times headlines about Trump and Russia, including one that read, "Trump campaign adviser met with Russian to discuss ‘dirt’ on Clinton."
