Twitter CEO Elon Musk and Democratic congressman Adam Schiff clashed over free speech on the platform after Twitter suspended a number of journalists from the platform.
This isn't the first contentious back-and-forth between Schiff and Musk. Schiff alleged in a tweet
that, "On Elon Musk's Twitter:- Slurs against Black people have tripled - Slurs against women are up 33% - Slurs against Jewish people are up 61% - And slurs against gay man are up 58%". Musk replied, "False, hate speech impressions are actually down by ⅓ for Twitter now vs prior to acquisition."Schiff's time at the helm of the intelligence committee is dwindling as Republicans are poised to take the House majority when the new Congress begins on January 3rd.
GOP leaders have long signaled their intentions to remove Schiff from the committee, which would prevent him from remaining as the top Democratic lawmaker on the panel as he would but for his likely banishment from the role by the GOP majority.
