On Tuesday night, Twitter CEO Elon Musk posted a 12-second video of something he found in a closet at Twitter headquarters that revealed a truly leftist perspective.
Musk posted a video of the closet that had shelves full of T-shirts as part of marketing on Twitter and showed a shelf full of black T-shirts with the caption “#Stay Woke.”

Despite criticism from the political left about how he’s been running the company, Musk noted on Monday that Twitter had added 1.6 million daily active users over the past week.
