Jamie Dupree, a veteran political reporter, accused Elon Musk's platform X of blocking tweets from journalist Greg Bluestein related to Rep. Rich McCormick's town hall meeting where he faced questions on DOGE. Dupree observed the issue starting at 10 p.m. on Thursday and prompted discussion with Laura Rozen about the missing posts. This incident highlights concerns that under Musk's leadership, X may be manipulating content, particularly against critics, despite his claims of being a proponent of free speech. The event included challenging questions to McCormick from constituents.
Dupree later posted on the left-leaning platform Bluesky and added, Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked.
Musk has been accused of throttling critics and boosting pro-Trump voices and allies on the platform despite self-identifying as a free speech absolutist.
