Tesla and SpaceX chief Elon Musk, who is campaigning for Donald Trump, accused Alphabet-owned Google and YouTube of censoring the former president's interview with podcaster Joe Rogan. This is not the first time the tech giant has been accused of election interference. Trump's supporters had earlier this year claimed that the Sundar Pichai-led company's autocomplete function did not provide information about the assassination attempt on him.
On Monday, Musk tweeted: "There is massive far left censorship at Google/YouTube.". He was replying to a user claiming 'If you search βJoe Rogan Trumpβ on YouTube the interview no longer comes up. Itβs replicable, try it yourself. π€'.
