Earlier, we told you about Washington Post Silicon Valley correspondent Elizabeth Dwoskin’s piece about Elon Musk using his Twitter account to comment on the pretty obvious liberal agenda of two Twitter execs, Vijaya Gadde and Jim Baker. The irony of the same outlet that paid Taylor Lorenz to doxx Libs of Tik Tok complaining about Elon Musk putting Twitter execs’ lives at risk by pointing out that they censored valid, politically significant stories for partisan reasons is apparently lost on Dwoskin and WaPo.
Anyway, one of the tweets Musk had responded to was this one from political commentator and podcaster Saagar Enjeti:

Naturally, Dwoskin covered that in her piece:
“Vijaya Gadde, the top censorship advocate at Twitter who famously gaslit the world on Joe Rogan’s podcast and censored the Hunter Biden laptop story, is very upset about the @elonmusk takeover,” Enjeti tweeted.
What Dwoskin did not do, however, was represent Enjeti honestly.
But until now, Musk’s criticisms do not appear to have been personal or targeted at individual Twitter employees. His responses to the tweets from Enjeti and online influencer Mike Cernovich also reveal the chaos — and potential harm — that can ensue when the incoming owner of a company amplifies criticism of workers there.
Twitter, Musk, Enjeti and the two targeted Twitter executives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
As Enjeti reveals, Dwoskin is completely full of it. And he’s got the receipts to prove it:
1/ WAPO says I did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Complete BS, they emailed *my producer* at 2am EST…7 hours after @elonmusk replied to my tweet with the following RIDICULOUS questions: https://t.co/kOUgb8utT4

The questions were genuinely ridiculous:
2/ The Twitter executive I mentioned *literally* went on the Joe Rogan Experience and is therefore the definition of a public figure. My criticism of her for a policy she publicly has defended is in no way responsible for what some rando account may say to her pic.twitter.com/HmSQ1JKY7n

Dwoskin, WaPo, and liberal media desperately want someone to blame for their pro-censorship agenda being exposed.
3/ Furthermore, I had no idea @elonmusk would reply. Accusing me of bringing him into it is *INSANE*
What was I hoping to accomplish? What does anyone hope to accomplish when sending a f'ing tweet?

What does Elizabeth Dwoskin hope to accomplish? Because if it’s anything other than outing herself as a flaming hack, she’s failed. Miserably.
4/ This is a great example of how the media smears you. I make a substantive point, randos say something. Now myself and @elonmusk and somehow racist/responsible for them!
All to cover up the fact that they substantively agree with censorship

Exactly.
This situation is such a perfectly demonstrative microcosm. https://t.co/VFCYQXKGVx
