HACKTIVIST group Anonymous has slammed the phrase ‘liberal bias’ after Elon Musk claims Twitter “has a strong left wing bias”.
Anonymous tweeted its opinion on the platform Musk just bought for $44billion.

The hacking group’s post reads: “”Liberal Bias” Also known as informed opinion”.
Musk previously wrote on Twitter: “Twitter obv has a strong left wing bias.”
He reportedly made the comments as he replied to a liberal reporter who called for violence against anti-abortion groups.
The billionaire later said: “Like I said, my preference is to hew close to the laws of countries in which Twitter operates.
“If the citizens want something banned, then pass a law to do so, otherwise it should be allowed.”
Caroline Reilly, a reporter for Rewire News Group who made the tweets Musk was referring to, has since deleted her comments.
The deleted tweets were made in response to a New York Times article about the attempted bombing of a pro-life group office in Wisconsin.
Reilly reportedly wrote: “More of this. May these people never know a moment of peace or safety until they rot in the ground.”

Musk was then tagged in a thread about the comments and asked “why a verified account is allowed to incite terrorism without any care in the world about being banned.”
Musk made his comments on May 9 but Anonymous didn’t tweet its post until May 11.
The hackers haven’t explicitly said that they’re directing their post at Musk.
