How Elon Musk’s Twitter helped make far-right violence in Brazil possible | The Mehdi Hasan Show
as we've said on this show before there,are way too many similarities between,the violent right-wing riots in our,Capital back in January 2021 and in,Brazil's on Sunday but one of the most,important similarities is that neither,attack could have happened without,right-wing organizers rallying support,on social media and on Twitter,specifically as the Washington Post,reports researchers in Brazil said,Twitter in particular was a place to,watch because it is heavily used by a,circle of right-wing influencers allies,of the former president bolsonaro who,continue to promote election fraud,narratives Elon Musk did not own Twitter,when our Capital was attacked two years,ago but he does now as rioters,sympathetic to the election lies of the,former Brazilian president stormed,government buildings on Sunday musk,wrote this on Twitter I hope that the,people of Brazil are able to resolve,matters peacefully well I think we all,hope that good tweet Elon but just about,a month before the riot it was Elon Musk,on Twitter spreading talking points just,like the ones from the election deniers,replying he loves replying to a,right-wing personality musk wrote I've,seen a lot of concerning tweets about,the recent Brazil election if those,tweets are accurate it's possible that,Twitter Personnel gave preference to,left-wing candidates,there are many reasons Elon Musk reminds,me of Donald J Trump one reason is that,his tweets are not just tweets they,often turn into policy they have real,world impact remember that funny bot,that would superimpose Trump tweets on,White House letterheads when it comes to,Twitter and the Brazil Riot well we,can't just talk about what Elon Musk,said on the platform we need to talk,about what he did to the platform before,musk bought Twitter the site had entire,teams dedicated to what they called,content moderation among other things,staff would look out for posts that,spread misinformation or incited,violence Elon Musk gutted those teams,this is reporting from Politico since,Elon Musk took over Twitter in late,October the world's richest man has,slashed the internal teams in charge of,combating misinformation including,individuals in charge of the company's,oversight in Brazil according to two,people with knowledge of those layoffs,who spoke on the condition of anonymity,the event here in Washington on January,the 6th 2021 happened despite Twitter,having guard rails like content,moderation thanks to musk a lot of those,guard rails are gone in the US in Brazil,and around the world,but musk isn't just removing guard rails,he's also bringing back bringing back,the very election deniers who helped,pave the way for the violence last week,former Trump National Security adviser,Mike Flynn got his account reinstated in,time to tweet on the second anniversary,of the capital attack quote I want to,personally thank Elon Musk for all he's,doing to help protect our basic human,rights especially our freedom of speech,and then there is Ali Alexander who,organized a number of stop the steel,events after the 2020 election and later,described himself as a VIP at the rally,near the White House on January the 6th,2021 where Trump told supporters who he,knew were armed to march on the capital,and fight like hell,let me read a bit from Ali Alexander's,deposition before the January 6,committee this transcript came out just,a few days ago question which social,media platforms did you use to promote,the event on January the 6th answer,primarily Twitter question primarily,Twitter answer yes,Ali Alexander was banned from Twitter,after the capital Insurrection so he,didn't have that platform at his,disposal ahead of the attack in Brazil,but that didn't stop him from exporting,his stop the steel message to right,Wingers there on Donald Trump's social,media site though one Trump launched,after being banned from Twitter Ali,Alexander posted things like take it to,the streets Brothers of Brazil military,Stand By and as the riot unfolded he,posted do whatever is necessary love you,all,Ali Alexander lost his Twitter account,after helping incite an Insurrection in,Washington he got it back after cheering,on one in Brasilia,maybe the timing is just a coincidence,after all he said last month that he had,spoken to musk and apparently gotten,some assurance that his account was,coming back,I got a I gotta reintroduce myself to,the world I,gotta go I need to I'm going to get back,on Twitter soon,I'm making moves,yeah the guy who used primarily Twitter,to help undermine a free and fair,American election he talked to talk on,and now has his account back along with,Michael Flynn oh and yes Donald J Trump,meanwhile American and Brazilian,democracy remain under attack,joining me now Washington Post Tech,reporter Drew Harwell he's reported,extensively on musk's takeover of,Twitter and had his own Twitter account,taken down and then restored after Elon,Musk took over the site Drew thanks for,coming on the show even with content,moderation in place
