Description: Trump Media Group CEO Devin Nunes baselessly claimed that Donald Trump urged Elon Musk to buy Twitter to “take on tech tyrants”. Musk vehemently denies that Trump had anything to do with the purchase, saying that he’s had no contact with the former President and reiterated that Trump doubled down on only being on his Truth Social platform.

In an appearance Wednesday on Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co,” Nunes said, “President Trump, basically before Elon Musk bought it, actually said to go and buy it because the goal of our company is really to build a community where people are in a family-friendly, safe environment.” Nunes added, “we encouraged Elon Musk to buy” Twitter, because “someone has to take on these tech tyrants… Donald Trump wanted to make sure that the American people got their voice back and that the internet was open and that’s what we are doing.”" *** The largest online progressive news show in the world.
