Replying to @Reuters "Twitter has shown itself to be not safe for the past 10 years and has lost users’ trust. The past team of "trust and safety” is a disgrace, so it doesn’t have any right to judge what is being done now. They had a chance, but they sold their souls to a corporation."
Elon Musk @elonmusk "Exactly. The obvious reality, as long-time users know, is that Twitter has failed in trust & safety for a very long time and has interfered in elections.
Twitter 2.0 will be far more effective, transparent and even-handed." 12:22 PM · Nov 30, 2022
Most infamously, Twitter banned any mention of Hunter Biden's "laptop from hell" in the lead up to the 2020 presidential election. By default, they also censored Joe Biden's deep involvement and shady business dealings with foreign adversaries.

This is why Lindsey Graham has been so opposed to Musk since he started the buy.
The GOP could’ve shut Twitter down, but they wanted Conservatives blocked.
They loved the Election Interference.
The original Twitter team needs to hear from Trump’s lawyers.
F’ng with Elon is not about free speech and electioneering, it’s about people not wanting to go to prison.
There was never any doubt that Musk would publish the fact that the information exists somewhere. Here Comes The Storm!
I think it was before 2016 that some people were suggesting an all internet national election. Can you imagine what would have happened? Some kid in his undershirt in the bedroom in mom’s house could have decided the vote and then demanded a ransomware fortune to reveal the result. Which was President Katy Perry.
She’s mad

Twitter is the least of it.
No when, nor where, but who...is the interesting part.
(sorry for the all caps. copy/paste hazard)
The epitome of slug.
confirmation is good. but, we have to get power over these folks.
So, can the country be convinced the election was stolen because of Twitter and others? And if so, what happens next?
And in other news, water is wet, sun rises in east, everybody dies sooner or later...
I’m expecting to hear that DOJ is going to shut down twitter due to finding out about election interference.
