Saturday, December 3, Musk spoke for nearly two hours in a ‘Twitter Spaces’ audio chat where he addressed files illuminating Twitter’s censorship ahead of 2020 election.
Elon Musk claimed that Twitter’s censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal was tantamount to interference in the 2020 election.
“If Twitter is doing one team’s bidding before an election shutting down dissenting voices on a pivotal election that is the definition of election interference,” said Musk.
“Frankly Twitter was acting like an arm of the Democratic National Committee, it was absurd,” Musk added.
Musk also claimed Apple had ‘fully resumed’ advertising on Twitter following a pullback, and said that he banned Kanye West for ‘incitement to violence’ for a tweet displaying a Nazi swastika.
Let it be reported that the billionaire has been highly critical of prior management at the company he purchased five weeks ago.
Much of the conversation was devoted to the so-called ‘Twitter Files,’ a selection of internal documents released by journalist Matt Taibbi on Friday night.
The documents included internal Twitter emails appearing to show staffers removing tweets showing a nude Hunter Biden at the behest of Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign and the DNC.
Musk said in the chat on Saturday that in addition to Taibbi, he had given the files to Bari Weiss.
