Read our privacy policy Presidential candidate and anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F Kennedy Jr heaped praise on Twitter owner Elon Musk for defending free speech, during a Twitter spaces event with the executive on Monday afternoon. He also praised Mr Musk for releasing the so-called “Twitter Files” which showed internal communications within Twitter from before Mr Musk took over the company in October 2022 about how they moderated content, such as The New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop as well as the company’s decision to suspend former president Donald Trump’s account. He also breezed past Mr Kennedy saying that “Covid was clearly a bioweapons problem.” The two also meandered and had a longer conversation about artificial intelligence and what it would do to the American workforce as well as Mr Musk’s Neuralink project. The conversation came after former Twitter executive Jack Dorsey tweeted his support of Mr Kennedy, saying “He can and will” defeat Mr Biden, Mr Trump and Mr DeSantis.
