Titania McGrath: Elon Musk: worse than Hitler
By Titania McGrath
Titania McGrath is a parody Twitter account created and run by comedian and Spiked columnist Andrew Doyle. | [TheCritic] It is no exaggeration to say that Elon Musk’s annexation of Twitter is the most terrifying development in recent history. Only a fascist would seek to impose free speech on humanity.
This is why there has been such a chorus of execration from left-wing commentators, celebrities and influencers. On the day that Musk seized control of Twitter, Washington Post columnist Taylor Lorenz noted that it was “like the gates of hell opened on this site tonight”. Charlie Warzel in The Atlantic wrote that there was “an apocalyptic feel to the ordeal”.
