Letter from far-Leftists demands advertisers stay away from billionaire Elon Musk’s new Twitter.
When Tesla and SpaceX billionaire Elon Musk decided to buy Twitter, he talked about freedom of speech, sending shivers of terror throughout the far-left community that had counted on the social media platform’s previous reliably pro-Democrat bent to promote their messaging.

And censor differing perspectives.
It didn’t take long for social media influencers – those people who use social media to tell others how and what to think – to organize into a coalition against Musk.
After all, what would happen to their death grip on information being delivered to the public if Twitter suddenly allowed conservative voices to discuss their ideas openly?

So what appeared next was a letter to advertisers, under a letterhead listing “+accountabletech,” “Media Matters” and “ultraviolet,” that warned them not to be on the megasite.
The letter claims that Musk’s acquisition of Twitter “will further toxify our information ecosystem and be a direct threat to public safety, especially among those already most vulnerable and marginalized.”

The answer, the report said, is “an assortment of ‘dark money groups’ like George Soros’s Open Society Foundation’ NGOs founded by former Clinton and Obama administration staffers; wealthy Democrat donors and their family foundations; labor unions; and the governments of European nations.”

He listed companies behind the scheme to include Access Now, Accountable Tech, Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Center for Countering Digital Hate, Empowering Pacific Islander Communities, Face the Music Collective, Fair Vote UK, Free Press, Friends of the Earth, Gender Equity Policy Institute, Glaad, Global Project against Hate and Extremism and Indivisible Northern Nevada.

The Daily Mail pointed out the list of organizations are linked closely to Soros, Clinton’s associates, Obama’s associates and more.
Among the influencers behind the movement against Musk were David Brock, of Media Matters, the National Education Association, and the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations,
