Ken Cucinelli, founder of Never Back Down PAC, called out Elon Musk for hypocrisy. Cucinelli reposted a post from Musk accusing Facebook of "manipulating the public almost everywhere on Earth."
"This is nice, when @X just suspended the @NvrBackDown24 account for no reason. How about getting the beam out of your own eye,@X, before pointing out the splinters in FB's? I wonder, did any other PACs supporting any other Presidential candidates get surprise-suspended today?" posted Cucinelli.
