Musk eviscerates Rep. Adam Schiff in deleted tweet: ‘Your brain is too small’

Twitter CEO Elon Musk insulted the intelligence of Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) in a now-deleted tweet after the lawmaker accused him of engaging in hypocrisy over free speech issues on the platform following Musk’s suspension of several journalists.

Schiff, the outgoing chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, tweeted, “Elon Musk calls himself a free speech absolutist, to justify turning a blind eye to hatred and bigotry on Twitter. But when journalists report unfavorable news, they are banned without warning.”

Schiff concluded, “The devotion to free speech is apparently not that absolute. But the hypocrisy is.” That prompted Musk to retort, “Thankfully, you lose your chairmanship very soon. Your brain is too small.” Musk later deleted the tweet.
