PERSON: Siru Murugesan

Twitter

Senior Engineer

An American far-right activist group Project Veritas released a video allegedly showing a senior Twitter engineer Siru Murugesan admitting that the company has a very strong left-wing bias, and that right-wingers were openly censored.

Mr Murugesan was caught on camera saying that the company culture at Twitter is “extremely far left,” and said his colleagues “hate, hate, hate” the proposed takeover by the Tesla CEO Elon Musk, reported news agency ANI.

According to Mr Murugesan, Twitter’s office politics was so left-leaning that the people working at the micro-blogging site have changed their original views to adjust to the prevailing atmosphere.

On the question of how his co-workers responded to the news of Elon Musk’s buyout, Mr Murugesan replied: “They’re like, this would be my last day if this happens.”

Mr Murugesan said “A lot has changed” since Musk began the takeover process in April and employees were worried for their jobs, as his companies run differently in contrast to Twitter’s “socialist” workplace.

“He’s a capitalist and we weren’t really operating as capitalists, more like very socialist. Like we’re all commie as f***,” reported news agency ANI
