Elon Musk defended the woman behind the controversial Libs of TikTok Twitter account after she tweeted that she was receiving death threats.
Musk, Tesla’s chief executive, who has pledged $ 44 billion to the social media site, tweeted: “Why? after the creator of Libs of TikTok – who was identified by The Washington Post as Tea Tomato from Brooklyn, New York – tweeted Monday that she has already received about a dozen death threats after radical leftists accused me of being domestic terrorist extremist. ”
“Twitter has not removed any of the accounts of those who sent the threats,” she added.
Musk then commented: “A platform cannot be considered inclusive or fair if it is biased against half the country.”
The tech mogul has vowed to change Twitter’s content moderation policies after making the company private once the acquisition is complete.
Musk has said he intends to restore former President Donald Trump’s Twitter account, which was closed after the events at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Raichik also tweeted that she was forced to relocate due to ongoing death threats from other social media users.
“Update: After the events of the last 2 days, I decided to move to a safer place until things calm down,” reads a post from Libs of TikTok, which was tweeted on Tuesday. “Thank you all for your kind words and support.”
On Monday, Raichik posted a screenshot of a message she received from another social media user who claimed to have sent her a pipe bomb “for literally supporting Nazi fans”.
“Hello, @FBI, I’m being threatened with a pipe bomb. Can you look at that? ”She tweeted in response.
Raichik tweeted that she had received at least a dozen death threats from other social media users.
Last week, Raichik was prevented from posting on his Twitter account after users protested against a topic in a tweet about drag shows to which young children were invited.
Libs of TikTok publishes TikTok videos from liberals who often talk about gender identity and other hot issues that have become a major part of political and cultural debates.

On Monday, Raichik wrote on his blog Substack that she had received internal messages on Slack from Twitter officials indicating that the social media company was considering banning her.
The blog post includes screenshots of what she claims are internal chats between Twitter employees.
Messages in Slack, which appear to have been exchanged on Monday, say a Twitter employee has expressed disappointment with management that it has not imposed a total ban on Libs of TikTok.
Liberals have accused Rajchik of inciting violence against transgender people.
