Billionaire Elon Musk took Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff to the woodshed after he bluntly accused his social media platform X of “allowing election misinformation to fester.”
Following a visit to the border where Musk exposed just how overwhelmed it is with illegal immigrants pouring into the United States, he also allegedly sacked half of X’s “Election Integrity Team.”
“Elon Musk just fired half of the Election Integrity Team at X. Allowing election misinformation to fester on this platform opens our democracy up to further attack and disinformation. But Elon seems fine with that,” Schiff viciously and dishonestly claimed on the very platform he was slamming.
Schiff and his fellow Democrats are beside themselves that they can longer dictate what is and isn’t allowed on the platform. Previously they have been able to actively define what “misinformation” is and their definition was purely politically motivated and had nothing to do with free speech or “integrity”.

But Elon seems fine with that.

With a presidential election coming up in 2024, Schiff is in full panic mode that the left can’t suppress information and control the narrative.
The hypocrisy of Schiff, who is about as dishonest as they come, decrying “election misinformation” is mind-blowing.
Musk’s reply to Schiff’s whining was epic, “Schiff knows a lot about posting misinformation – he’s an expert at doing it!”

According to Fox Business, Musk admitted to axing half of the “Election Integrity Team.”
“Oh you mean the ‘Election Integrity’ Team that was undermining election integrity?” Musk wrote on X. “Yeah, they’re gone.”

And it looks like the honeymoon with X CEO Linda Yaccarino might be coming to an end. She disputed Musk’s claim the same day it was made while she was at Vox’s annual Code Conference.
“And contrary to the comments that were made, there is a robust and growing team at X that is wrapping their arms around election integrity,” Yaccarino stated.
The laughable assertion by Schiff caught the attention of others on X and he was dragged all over the place for it:
“us politicians are the only ones that are supposed to spread misinformation”

You’re a liar with zero integrity. Hence you’re the last person who should ever discuss integrity

Adam Schiff whining about “integrity” is like Adam Schiff whining about “honesty”.

Dear Adam Schiff, You were censured because you’re untrustworthy and a serial liar. Mr. Misinformation! pic.twitter.com/CDVydHDRze

But, you seem fine with that.

Take a seat. You were fine working with social media to censor facts that were inconvenient to you and you were fine wasting millions of taxpayer dollars to push hoax after hoax. Don’t speak about integrity or election interference unless you’re admitting guilt.

We get election misinformation in the media daily, but you seem fine with that.

You’re the one spreading disinformation. He’s replacing them.
