SAO PAULO—Twitter owner Elon Musk said on Saturday he thought it was “possible” that personnel at the social media firm gave preference to left-wing candidates during Brazil’s election this year, without providing evidence.

Musk completed his acquisition of Twitter on Oct. 27, just days before Brazil’s presidential second round runoff vote, when conservative incumbent Jair Bolsonaro was defeated by leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
