Elon Musk told Tucker Carlson he couldn’t believe how much access the federal government had at Twitter, including access to direct messages:
Elon Musk claims the US government had “full access” to direct, private messages sent through Twitter — a revelation that he said “blew my mind.”“The degree to which government agencies effectively had full access to everything that was going on on Twitter blew my mind,” Musk told Tucker Carlson of Fox News in an interview that will air in two separate segments Monday and Tuesday evening.“I was not aware of that,” Musk told Carlson. A snippet of the interview was posted to Twitter.“Would that include people’s DMs?” Carlson asked.“Yes,” Musk replied without elaborating.
