‘Elon Musk Agreed’ with German Minister on EU Censorship Plan – Claim

Elon Musk has agreed that Twitter must continue to combat “disinformation” ahead of coming EU censorship plans, a German minister has claimed.

Volker Wissing, Germany’s Federal Minister for Transport, has claimed that he and Elon Musk have agreed that Twitter must continue to fight “disinformation” in the lead-up to EU censorship controls coming into force.

While Musk has openly said that he wants Twitter to become a platform that is more friendly towards free speech, he has since publicly insisted that he will bow to EU demands for further censorship, with senior bloc officials threatening to ban the platform from the union should he refuse.
