Upon purchasing Twitter, Elon Musk discovered millions of papers that demonstrated the White House and Twitter staff had worked together to censor US citizens. These documents became known as the Twitter files.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was among the Americans specifically mentioned in those materials.
“A company was under government pressure to silence you.” According to Dave Rubin, “it would be a violation of the First Amendment under most legal standards.”
Then, instead of dismissing them, Musk gave investigative reporters like Matt Taibi free rein to do with the materials as they pleased.
“I will always admire Elon because he did it!” his attorneys yelled at him. “You can not do that.” Before disclosing what Musk had told him later, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tells Dave Rubin, “It was such a big, daring act.”
“When I questioned him why he had done that, he replied, ‘Look, I am from South Africa. I moved here, and I appreciate this country’s freedom, so I moved here in part because of the First Amendment,” RFK said.
I now own this country’s nationality. I am really wealthy. I could purchase homes anywhere on the globe. I am not. Recalling what Elon had said, RFK says, “Everything I own is here, and I want this country to be what it is supposed to be.”
“I believe it is amazing that Elon is now standing up for free speech in our nation,” he continues, “and it was a pretty extraordinary talk.”
