(Daily Caller) Elon Musk called out Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California Tuesday, demanding to know if he approved “hidden state censorship” while chairing the House Intelligence Committee following the latest revelations from the Twitter files, a series of internal documents from the company.
“As (outgoing) Chair of House Intelligence, did you approve hidden state censorship in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States @RepAdamSchiff?” Musk tweeted Tuesday, days after Schiff threatened to repeal protections provided by Section 230 if tech companies didn’t censor enough.

“We should absolutely take aim at that and other anti-competitive actions of Big Tech, and I think we’ve got a big problem right now with social media companies and their failure to moderate content and the explosion of hate on Twitter, the banning of journalists on Twitter,” Schiff said during a Sunday appearance on “State of the Union” hosted by Jake Tapper.
