KJP Issues Veiled Threat to Pro-Free Speech Musk: We’re ‘Keeping a Close Eye’ on Twitter

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre sent a veiled threat Monday to Twitter owner Elon Musk when she claimed that the The White House is “monitoring” Twitter after Musk took over the platform. 

When asked about the White House’s concerns that a Musk-owned Twitter might become a “vector of misinformation,” Jean-Pierre made it clear that the White House has all eyes on Musk.

“This is something that we're certainly keeping an eye on,” she said. “It is [social media platforms’] responsibility to make sure when it comes to misinformation, when it comes to the hate that we’re seeing, that they take action, that they continue to take action. [W]e're all keeping a close eye on this. We're all monitoring what’s currently occurring."

Reuters reporter Andrea Shalal referenced a Stanford researcher who called Musk obtaining Twitter “a critical moment … in terms of making sure Twitter doesn’t become a vector of misinformation.” She asked Jean Pierre if the Biden administration was concerned about new users coming to Twitter and “who is it at the White House that is really keeping track of this?”

Sure they're concerned about the hate they are seeing all of a sudden because it is their supporters that have been and are spewing the hate and disinformation and Musk has hit the breaks hard on them.
