BREAKING: Elon Musk Finally Responds To Major Issue That Could Unravel Twitter's Success - 'This Was A Mistake'

On Thursday, Elon Musk responded to claims that Twitter was suppressing The Daily Wire documentary 'What Is A Woman?' after the Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boering explained that the documentary was being suppressed by the social media company.

As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, ‘What Is a Woman’ was a smash-hit documentary where Walsh went around interviewing a multitude of different people from all walks of life to answer the titular question. Unsurprisingly, the film received notable criticism and protest over its conservative and anti-LGBTQ messaging.

Boreing took to his Twitter to call out the social media giant for their response to the documentary and explain to users the impasse over “two instances of ‘misgendering.’”

Twitter canceled a deal with @realdailywire to premiere What is a Woman? for free on the platform because of two instances of “misgendering.”

I’m not kidding.

The so-called god king then outlined how the documentary was planned to be free to view for all Twitter users for 24 hours via a exclusive launch page on the site. Boreing went on to explain that Twitter was the platform of choice because it had outlined “recent commitments to free speech, [and] we thought it would be the perfect place to distribute the film and drive the conversation forward.”

The Daily Wire CEO went on to explain that Twitter was initially excited to host the conservative media company's film, however, upon being granted access to the documentary, they quickly rescinded the offer. 

After viewing the controversial film, Twitter went back on its word and labeled the documentary as “‘hateful conduct’” due to the “‘misgendering’” in the film. 
 

6/16 After reviewing the film, though, Twitter let us know that not only could we no longer purchase the package they offered, they would no longer provide us any support and would actually limit the reach of the film and label it as “hateful conduct” because of “misgendering.”

In response to this, Twitter CEO Elon Musk explained that the suppression of the content "was a mistake."

"This was a mistake by many people at Twitter. It is definitely allowed," Musk wrote after the backlash. "Whether or not you agree with using someone’s preferred pronouns, not doing so is at most rude and certainly breaks no laws."

"I should note that I do personally use someone’s preferred pronouns, just as I use someone’s preferred name, simply from the standpoint of good manners," the billionaire explained. "However, for the same reason, I object to rude behavior, ostracism or threats of violence if the wrong pronoun or name is used."
