Elon Musk is demanding to know who was behind a letter signed by more than two dozen liberal groups that has urged advertisers to boycott Twitter if he completes his takeover of the social media giant.

Left-leaning NGOs โ€” whose backers include billionaire financier George Soros and former Clinton operatives, as well as the European Union and the Canadian government โ€” are urging a boycott of Twitter if Musk takes over the company.

โ€œWho funds these organizations that want to control your access to information? Letโ€™s investigate โ€ฆ,โ€ Musk tweeted on Tuesday.

He added that โ€œSunlight is the best disinfectant.โ€

The letter, which was signed by 26 organizations, claimed that โ€œElon Muskโ€™s takeover of Twitter will further toxify our information ecosystem and be a direct threat to public safety, especially among those already most vulnerable and marginalized.โ€

Musk taking control of Twitter means advertising on the platform โ€œrisks association with a platform amplifying hate, extremism, health misinformation, and conspiracy theorists,โ€ the letter said.

โ€œUnder Muskโ€™s management, Twitter risks becoming a cesspool of misinformation, with your brand attached, polluting our information ecosystem in a time where trust in institutions and news media is already at an all-time low,โ€ the letter added.

โ€œYour ad dollars can either fund Muskโ€™s vanity project or hold him to account. We call on you to demand Musk uphold these basic standards of community trust and safety, and to pull your advertising spending from Twitter if they are not.โ€

The documentโ€™s letterhead includes the logos of three organizations โ€” Accountable Tech, Media Matters for America, and UltraViolet.

Accountable Tech is a Washington, DC-based organization linked to top Democrats. Jesse Lehrich, a co-founder, once served as a spokesperson for Hillary Clintonโ€™s presidential campaign. He is also the nephew of former Obama adviser David Axelrod.

Media Matters for America is an organization founded by political operative and Clinton backer David Brock. MMFA is a site โ€œdedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.โ€

UltraViolet is a feminist movement that is โ€œmobilized to fight sexism and create a more inclusive world that accurately represents all women, from politics and government to media and pop culture.โ€

Other signatories, like Access Now, have the support of the Canadian and European governments as well as Soros, the billionaire financier who heads the Open Society Foundations.
