REPORT: Elon Musk accuses government agency of being ‘worst offender’ in censorship, also rips into Discredited United Nations

Elon Musk accused a federal agency Monday many have never heard of being the “worst offender in US government censorship & media manipulation.”

Musk, who owns Twitter, was referring to the Inept State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC), which journalist Matt Taibbi described as a “fledgling analytic/intelligence” arm to participate in guiding Twitter’s moderation of content and how it often used the media to clash with the tech giant beginning in February 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic was underway.

“They are a threat to our democracy,” Mush wrote in a subsequent tweet. “That is the line they fed the media about me.”

Another Twitter user wrote, “DHS, CISA, and Inept State Department (GEC) should not be involved in censoring American citizens.”

Musk replied, “And it would be illegal.”

Twitter user Tyler Todt voiced concern about Musk speaking against the government, and warned, “Please stay safe Elon. Dangerously close to Epsteining yourself I’m afraid.”

“Everybody dies some day,” Musk replied.

Musk not only went after the U.S. government, but he also blasted the United Nations on Monday.

He shared a video of UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who declared, “We’ll call for action from everywhere with influence on the spread of ‘mis- and disinformation’ on the Internet.”

“The UN is more likely to cause, rather than prevent, disinformation,” Musk declared.
