Democrat politicians such as [[Elizabeth Warren]], who were in favor of letting Twitter do as it pleased under liberal ownership and did all it could to run interference for it and protect it and its lawless actions against regulation and sanctions by the Trump administration, did an about-face following the Musk purchase and, out of fearful concern of their crimes and misdeeds being exposed (and especially the return of President Trump to Twitter) now that Musk is restoring free speech to the platform and ending censorship there, suddenly and hypocritically became in favor of regulating Twitter, with Warren in particular advocating for a "wealth tax" and regulation of Big Tech that would specifically target Twitter and conservative social media platforms, claiming that Twitter's purchase by Musk and its subsequent restoration of free speech for conservatives would be "...dangerous for our democracy".<ref>[https://dailycallernewsfoundation.org/2022/04/26/democrats-twitter-free-speech-elon-musk/ Democrats Are Horrified Now That Twitter Might Actually Allow Free Speech] at the Daily Caller</ref>
