Elon Musk claims the U.S. government had ‘full access’ to private Twitter DMs

In a video excerpt of an upcoming Fox News interview, Twitter CEO Elon Musk expressed surprise over the U.S. government’s ability to read users’ direct messages (DMs) on the social media platform, claiming that the government has “full access” to them. The video was shared by host Tucker Carlson on Twitter before his show, which is set to air on Monday and Tuesday night on Fox News. Musk stated that the government’s level of access to Twitter’s activities had “blown his mind” and he was not previously aware of it. Carlson asked if this access included users’ DMs, to which Musk responded affirmatively.
