Twitter will be a better place with Tesla CEO Elon Musk driving away left-wing censorship from the platform, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told "America Reports" Tuesday.
Twitter announced earlier in the day that Musk will join Twitter's board of directors, after purchasing a 9.2% stake in the company. The move comes roughly a week after the billionaire criticized Twitter for a lack of commitment to free speech.
Paul, an outspoken critic of Big Tech censorship, said he hopes Musk's spot on the board will bring a new "ethos" to the company.
"We've already seen some on the left wigging out and saying they are leaving Twitter if Elon Musk is coming. I say, good riddance. If the left-wing crazies trying to censor speech leave Twitter, then it'll be a better place," Paul told co-host Sandra Smith.
"I would say one thing," he added. "I don’t know Elon Musk, I've never met him, but I would say he has cultivated this persona of independence, of being a free thinker, and that used to be what intellectuals respected. It used to be that people on the left or the right, or people of ideas respected ideas. But then we become more and more the authoritarian notion, from the left, [that] that ideas they disagreed with were to be suppressed, and this has been true on COVID… climate alarmism as well, there couldn’t be more than one viewpoint."
