New Delhi: A Twitter lead client partner Alex Martinez can be seen mocking Elon Musk for having Asperger’s in one of the undercover video released by an American far-right activist group named Project Veritas and added that he ‘can’t even take what you’re saying seriously’. The video purportedly shows Martinez criticising Musk’s vision of free speech on the platform.

‘Elon Musk has asperger’s. So he’s special. You’re literally special needs,’ Martinez tells the undercover reporter. ‘So I can’t even take what you’re saying seriously,’ added the Twitter employee.

Martinez  said, "Well, right now we don't make profit. So it's gonna say ideology, which is what's led us into not being profitable.. The rest of us who have been here believe in something that's good for the planet and not just give people free speech."

"And it's going to be hard for him (Elon Musk) to be like, 'uh, because people should make their own decision'. It's like, no, but people don't know how to make a rational decision if you don't put out correct things that are supposed to be out in the public," Martinez purportedly said.

On Monday, another Project Veritas sting exposed a senior engineer at Twitter admitting the social media giant has a strong left-wing bias and they routinely censor conservatives.

The senior Twitter engineer was also recorded as saying that several Twitter employees hate Musks's takeover of the company. "They hate it. Oh my God. I'm at least like okay with it. But some of my colleagues are like super left, left, left, left, left," Murugesan said.

According to the senior engineer at Twitter, "a lot has changed" since billionaire Elon Musk began the takeover process last month. He also added that Twitter staffers were worried for their jobs, because Musk's firms run differently from Twitter's "socialist" workplace.

Meanwhile, CEO of Tesla and founder of SpaceX, Musk gave a hint, which suggested that would be like to pay less for the acquisition of Twitter, according to a report by news agency AP.

Musk bought the social micro-blogging platform in April for an offer of $44 billion. The world’s richest man made the offer to buy Twitter for $54.20 per share on April 14.
