Elon Musk on Wednesday said that Twitter has meddled in elections, lending credence to critics who say social media platforms have immense power to control politics in the U.S. and around the world.
Mr. Musk did not identify the specific elections he thought were affected by the social media platform’s failures when he condemned his predecessors in a reply to a person who said Twitter has lost people’s trust.
“The obvious reality, as long-time users know, is that Twitter has failed in trust & safety for a very long time and has interfered in elections,” Mr. Musk wrote.
