From Project Veritas:
• Project Veritas has published the recording of an internal Twitter company-wide meeting wherein Elon Musk addressed thousands of Twitter employees and answered questions moderated by Twitter CMO, Leslie Berland.
• “I think it's essential to have free speech,” Musk said on the call after describing his affinity for Twitter. He added that “multiple opinions” should exist on Twitter to “make sure that we’re not sort of driving a narrative.”
• On the call, Musk was asked about his political leanings, his plans for layoffs and the direction of the company.
• Musk described his political views as “moderate” noting that he traditionally has voted Democrat but voted Republican this week for the first time in his life, voting for Congressional Candidate Mayra Flores in Florida. He said he believes most of the world favors moderate politics but that the far left and right should be able to voice their frustrations on Twitter.
• Musk also discussed his vision for Twitter saying that traditional news media is “negative” and that they “almost never” get it right. He added that bots, spam and multi-account users must be contained. “I think an important goal for Twitter would be to try to include as, as much of the country, as much of the world as possible,” Musk added.
• Musk notes that he’s “not hung up on titles,” but he certainly wants to be the one driving the product change at Twitter.
• Musk reacted to the news of Project Veritas publishing the recorded meeting on Twitter, by posting “Exactly.”
