‘You Can’t Name a Single Example’: Elon Musk Torches BBC Reporter Who Claims ‘Hateful’ Twitter Content Increasing

Twitter CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday poked holes in a BBC reporter’s suggestion that there is more hateful content on the social-media app since Musk’s takeover.

The reporter, James Clayton, could not name a single example of hateful content he’d seen on the site.

Musk asked Clayton to describe what he considers “hateful content.” Clayton offered a definition: “Content that will solicit a reaction. Something that may include something that is slightly racist or slightly sexist. Those kinds of things.”

“So you think if something is slightly sexist, it should be banned?” Musk asked.
