Siru Murugesan was recorded by an undercover journalist saying the company culture is extremely far left where workers are “commie as f—” and they “hate, hate, hate” Elon Musk’s now in jeopardy $44-billion takeover, according to reports.
Murugesan was filmed saying Twitter has a left-wing bias and that the company regularly censors conservatives.
There were multiple recordings of Murugesan. In one he says Twitter “does not believe in free speech” and tried to make him left-wing when he started working there, according to the reports.
Murugesan was filmed by a female Project Veritas journalist.
“Twitter does not believe in free speech,” he said, also adding many of his colleagues “hate” Musk’s takeover plans.
“I’m at least like okay with it. But some of my colleagues are like super left, left, left, left, left,” he said.
He said he became more left-leaning just by working at Twitter.
“I think it’s just like the environment, like you’re there and you become like this commie.”
Murugesan continued: “You know, our jobs are at stake. “He’s a capitalist and we weren’t really operating as capitalists, more like very socialist. Like we’re all commie as f—.”
