BILLIONAIRE Elon Musk was accused of silencing the voices of marginalised workers today after grassroots union United Voices of the World announced that their Twitter account had been officially deleted.
The account, which had amassed over 20,000 followers, was suspended in December, erasing a decade of work.
The platform ignored multiple requests to restore the account, which had been used to amplify the voices of low-paid, migrant and precarious workers represented by the union.
