NBC:
A drastic rise in hate speech on Twitter happened just hours after it was officially acquired by billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

“The immediate increase appears to be around 500%,” said Dr. Bond Benton about the percentage increase in hate speech in the first hours of Musk taking over.

Benton is a professor at Montclair University in New Jersey and recently co-authored a white paper claiming that in the first 12 hours of Musk taking over as CEO of the company, in which he tweeted “Free the bird,” a range of hate speech terms skyrocketed on the site.

Benton did not specify the terms, only saying they were vulgar and hostile towards race, religion, and ethnicity.

Musk tweeted there’s been no changes to Twitter’s moderation policies and that he’s forming a “moderation council” with differing viewpoints.

A two-decade partnership between Musk and the federal government helped the United States return to global dominance in space and shift to electric cars, and made the tech geek an internationally famous CEO.

But many in Washington, even as they praise his work in areas of national security, now see Musk as too powerful and too reckless.

Citing Musk's public ridicule of those who snub him — the billionaire has called President Biden a "damp sock puppet" and said Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) reminds him of "my friend's angry mom" — many of the two dozen top government officials interviewed for this article would only speak about Musk on the condition of anonymity.

It's complete BS. 50k instances by about 300 users and most the user accounts were bots.

It was staged to create an uproar and to convince morons like moe that Musk is evil.

You are a got damn clown puppet

Lefties wetting themselves over losing their ability to censor free speech. Good times, indeed.
