Musk mocks Biden on Twitter: 'Everyone just wanted less drama'

Elon Musk took to Twitter on Thursday to mock President Joe Biden, claiming he thinks Americans want him to transform the country when really “everyone just wanted less drama.”

Biden’s mistake is that he thinks he was elected to transform the country, but actually everyone just wanted less drama

Musk has become a fierce critic of the left and has often mocked President Biden’s policy goals, the Daily Wire reported. 

His latest tweets came after he claimed that it was “not correct to ban Donald Trump” from Twitter last week at FT Live’s Future of the Car conference.

“I think that was a mistake because it alienated a large part of the country, and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice,” Musk said, adding that the decision was “morally bad.”

“That doesn’t mean that someone gets to say whatever they want to say,” he said. “If they say something that is illegal or destructive to the world, then there should be perhaps a timeout, temporary suspension or that particular tweet should be made invisible or have very little traction.”

“I would reverse the permanent ban,” the Telsa CEO added.

Once Musk’s Twitter purchase is finalized, he is expected to serve as CEO of the company for a period of time and has indicated that he will allow the former president to return to the platform.

Although Musk indicated that action could be taken against tweets that violate Twitters policy, he warned that permanent bans are not “appropriate” and “should be extremely rare and really reserved for accounts that are bots, or scam, spam accounts.”

In recent days, the Biden administration reportedly opened an investigation into the billionaire’s business dealings, citing irregularities with his recent $44 billion Twitter purchase.

“The Securities and Exchange Commission is probing Mr. Musk’s tardy submission of a public form that investors must file when they buy more than 5% of a company’s shares,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “The disclosure functions as an early sign to shareholders and companies that a significant investor could seek to control or influence a company.”

The government report argued that Musk’s disclosure filing from April 4 was at least 10 days late – a move which could have saved him more than $140 million because shares could have gone up had the public known about his 5% ownership of the company.

On Friday, however, Musk announced that his Twitter deal is on hold until he receives more information about the number of fake accounts that currently operate on the social media platform. In a follow-up tweet around two hours later, Musk added that he was “still committed to the acquisition.”
