Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk revealed in an exclusive interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson that the United States, along with foreign government agencies, was granted "full access" to direct messages of private citizens on Twitter prior to his takeover.
Musk made the bombshell allegation in the Carlson sit-down, the first part of which aired Monday on "Tucker Carlson Tonight." In a rare and unfiltered discussion, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO spoke candidly about his concerns about artificial intelligence (AI), his Twitter acquisition and his future plans for the social media platform that he bought last fall.
In what has been described as one of the most "jaw-dropping" moments of the two-part conversation, Musk accused his predecessors at Twitter of allowing U.S. and foreign intelligence agencies to read users’ direct messages on the platform, calling it among the most "absurd" discoveries he made since purchasing the company for $44 billion.

Musk is afraid of no one.
Government control over thoughts and words. Total violation of the Constitution. Grounds for impeachment of president and his cabinet and half of congress.
That will never happen, since democrats, who wish the end of freedom of thought, have never respected the law and are never held to obey the law.
It was a difficult interview to watch, for me. Musk slurred his words, rambled and lost me a number of times. Is English his first language? Tucker had to summarize each prior segment, when they came back to the next segment.
Anyone else have this problem, or is it just me?
One’s “sex” or gender are actually “assigned” at the instant of fertilization of the egg, or very shortly thereafter. A long way before “birth”.
Access not control of. But it does potentially invoke the fourth amendment “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated”.
Access = a search.
Well the Republicans knew all of this was going on, why didn't they speak up when it started ?
Elon bought Twitter in order to expose it.
The Biden gang did tell Twitter and FB what to do. We don’t know everything the actual security state did, but we saw the FBI in action. The article and recent Tucker’s shows focus on access, but do not assume that they were not in control.
Wrong thread?
> Anyone else have this problem, or is it just me?
Just you. ;-)
If you see a couple of his keynotes or whatever (widely available on youtube et. al.) That’s just his style of conversing. For me it seems he’s used to delving into technical details and is finding it a bit difficult to “dumb it down” for the audience.
JAW DROPPING!
I’d love to see a few of those DMs.

I am listening to Chris Plante on WMAL 105.9 in DC, and he had the same problem.

Musk is not a trained public speaker. That considered, he does OK.
That was a good interview last night. Leon’s funny.
Yeah. Had to listen closely.
Agree. I have a degree in computer science and work experience but maybe we are not that good (or polished) at explaining it.
I’ve heard him give talks to employees at TESLA, and he speaks well loudly, to a group. But one-on-one, he speaks in a low voice, is more subdued and sometimes mumbles. JIMO.
Thank God he is that smart & that unafraid.
He is looking MORE & MORE like he is OUR JOHN GALT.
