Elon Musk is standing by Yoel Roth as Twitter’s “Head of Safety & Integrity,” a notoriously left-wing employee with a history of fiery political tweets who previously equated members of the Trump administration with Nazis.
Musk previously claimed that Twitter hid the number of fake users on its platform, causing the company to be overvalued but agreed to honor his earlier pledge to buy the social media network for $44 billion last week due to its “incredible potential.”
Musk tweeted a screenshot of comments made by Roth with the caption: “Wachtell & Twitter board deliberately hid this evidence from the court. Stay tuned, more to come …” Conservative podcaster Liz Wheeler commented that Roth should have been the first person that Musk fired, but Musk was quick to defend Roth, stating: “We’ve all made some questionable tweets, me more than most, but I want to be clear that I support Yoel. My sense is that he has high integrity, and we are all entitled to our political beliefs.”
