WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden has slammed Elon Musk for acquiring Twitter, saying the micro-blogging platform spews "lies all across the world".

Biden made these comments during a fundraising event for Illinois Democratic Representatives Lauren Underwood and Sean Casten, reports Fox Business. "Elon Musk goes out and buys an outlet that spews lies all across the world. There are no editors anymore in America. There are no editors," he told the gathering.

"How do we expect kids to be able to understand what is at stake? What is at stake? So there's a lot going on, a lot going on. But we have an enormous opportunity, enormous opportunity," Biden added.

Amid calls to bring back on Twitter former US President Donald Trump, Musk has announced plans to create a content moderation council. The Tesla CEO said that Twitter will not allow anyone who was de-platformed for violating its rules "back on platform until we have a clear process for doing so, which will take at least a few more weeks".
