Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced Wednesday that the social media company’s new official policy will not penalize users for legitimately questioning scientific claims and narratives that are promoted in the media.
The statement from Musk comes as he has taken multiple shots at leftists this week for buying into mainstream media narratives.
“New Twitter policy is to follow the science, which necessarily includes reasoned questioning of the science,” Musk said.

In a subsequent tweet, Musk responded to professor Gad Saad, who posted a video mocking Dr. Anthony Fauci and his decision to retire as Republicans are set to take over the House of Representatives next week.
“Anyone who says that questioning them is questioning science itself cannot be regarded as a scientist,” Musk said in response to the video about Fauci.

Musk also posted a meme mocking the political Left over science issues:

Prior to Musk’s purchase of Twitter, users could often face suspension or permanent bans for questioning some scientific matters, especially those surrounding COVID, vaccines, and transgender issues.
Musk called out other social media companies and Google earlier this week for alleged censorship on their platforms.
Musk made the remarks in response to a tweet from left-wing journalist Glenn Greenwald, who wrote: “For the crime of reporting that the US Security State agencies are heavily involved in Big Tech’s censorship regime, and for confessing that he found this deeply disturbing, liberals have spent a full week saying that @mtaibbi has mental health problems and needs therapy.”
Included in Greenwald’s tweet was a screenshot of one of journalist Matt Taibbi’s Twitter Files threads.
“The government was in constant contact not just with Twitter but with virtually every major tech firm,” Taibbi said. “These included Facebook, Microsoft, Verizon, Reddit, even Pinterest, and many others. Industry players also held regular meetings without government.”
Musk responded, “Most people don’t appreciate the significance of the point Matt was making: *Every* social media company is engaged in heavy censorship, with significant involvement of and, at times, explicit direction of the government.”

Musk says all the right things, doesn’t he? I don’t trust him.
” I don’t trust him ”
Just another ‘Field’ in the database. Firearms registration, Your MAC address, etc.
Another Snake.
Got excited for a moment about the “blasted Fauci” title, then realized he only used words
Who gives a shit what Elon Musk says?
Why are there people who have been made aware of things by other means, but who only believe it when it belatedly falls out of Musk’s mouth?
Why do such butt lickers exist?
I never have used Twitter and probably never will. Musk seems to really be making Twitter a free speech platform. Many blessings to him for doing so. He may be a one world-er for transhumanism. But, he seems to really appreciate and support freedom of speech.
He’s inviting the red pilled to identify themselves.
…seems to be…
Me thinks there is a deeper game afoot.
“‘Cannot Be Regarded As A Scientist’”
Literally. The POT. Talking to himself.
fauci recently on his critics,”they’re really criticizing science b/c i represent science. that’s dangerous.”
1901–winston churchill in a letter to h.g. wells,”nothing could be more fatal than 4 the govt of states to get into the hands of the experts. expert knowledge is limited knowledge:and the unlimited ignorance of the plain man who knows only what hurts is a safer guide ,than any vigorous direction of a specialized character. why would you assume that all except doctors,engineers,etc. are drones or worse ?…if the ruler is to be an expert in anything he should be an expert in everything:and that is plainly impossible.”
