Donald Trump Jr. recently appeared on ‘UFC Unfiltered with Jim Norton and Matt Serra’. As a result, he spoke all things UFC. However, apart from that, he also talked about Elon Musk.

Thus, Musk’s stake in Twitter has generated a lot of curiosity. Owing to this, Donald Trump Jr. gave his thoughts on the situation.

When the host asked Trump Jr. to comment on Elon Musk buying into Twitter, he said“It’s interesting. Listen, I hope so, you know, I have a couple of thoughts, I am not, you know. It seems like it’s such a big purchase and everything like that. It almost feels like there is, there has to be something pre-arranged. … I love that he is sort of fighting for free speech, but like it also feels a little contrived to me.”

“And again, and only because I have become sort of conspiratorial because I’ve seen what’s going on for the last five years … Being in the room and then seeing what’s reported. There’s always, there’s always a catch.”

He further extensively spoke about free speech, censoring, and people getting canceled.
