Musk, prospective Twitter owner and father of a transgender daughter, weighed in on Jordan Peterson being being banned from Twitter for ridiculing Page’s transition.
HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA – MARCH 27: Elliot Page attends the 94th Annual Academy Awards at Hollywood and Highland on March 27, 2022 in Hollywood, California. A few weeks after being legally rejected by his transgender daughter, Elon Musk slammed Twitter this week for going “too far” in suspending the account of controversial psychologist Jordan Peterson, who deadnamed and insulted transgender actor Elliot Page.
The next day, Twitter came under fire for letting Page’s former name — what the “Juno” star was known by before his transition, become a top trending topic. Once an obscure academic, Peterson became a hero in conservative circles for railing against feminism and social justice issues, and by inserting himself into the debate about transgender rights by refusing to refer to a student by their chosen pronouns,News of Peterson’s suspension, and his refusal to remove his tweet about Page, began circulating online.
“While it is unclear how I broke their terms of service, it is clear that they are breaking their fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders by letting a bunch of Woke activists run the company,” Rubin wrote. “I hope Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter goes through so he can blow up their servers and humanity can move past this pervasive, twisted, self-imposed mental institution.”
Musk has blasted the company’s rules against misinformation and other legal but harmful content. During a meeting with Twitter employees in June, Musk said that the platform should allow all legal speech, while agreeing that some content moderation is necessary to protect people from harassment
