The man featured in the video appeared to suggest that Twitter employees “weren’t really operating as capitalists, more like very socialist,” which may not bode well for them in the future, as Elon Musk is a capitalist himself.
A new “undercover” video released on YouTube by an activist group known as Project Veritas shows a man identified as Siru Murugesan, a senior engineer at Twitter, saying some rather unpleasant things about the social media network.
In the video, which appears to be a collection of small hidden cam fragments, Murugesan claims, for example, that Twitter “does not believe in free speech,” but that Elon Musk, who may soon become the social media platform’s owner, "believes in free speech."
He also appeared to suggest that at least some of his colleagues are not particularly thrilled about Musk taking over Twitter, as they themselves are "super left, left, left, left, left."
"Our jobs are at stake," Murugesan said. "He’s a capitalist, and we weren’t really operating as capitalists, more like very socialist. Like we’re all like Commie as f*ck."
Last month, SpaceX and Tesla founder and billionaire Elon Musk reached an agreement with Twitter on the purchase of the social media network for a lump sum of about $44 billion, with Musk promising to enable greater freedom of speech on the platform.
The New York Post, which also reported on the video in question, notes that Twitter did not immediately respond to their request for comment on Tuesday, and that Project Veritas said the social media giant did not reply to their request for comment either.
