Twitter CEO Elon Musk promoted a series of tweets on Friday revealing internal documents about how the company handled a news article about Hunter Biden in 2020, controversially blocking people from tweeting and direct-messaging about it.
In a lengthy tweet thread, writer Matt Taibbi said he received “thousands of internal documents” from sources at Twitter — and Musk himself tweeted “Here we go!! 🍿🍿” when the thread began. NBC News has not seen or verified those files.
The thread came after Musk teased that past inner workings of Twitter would be exposed. On Monday, he said the “Twitter Files on free speech suppression” would soon be published, adding that the public has a right to know about past discussions there.
Early into the evening on Friday, the thread mostly revealed deliberations both internally and externally — including with Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif. — about Twitter’s move to restrict access to the article. Khanna appeared to question Twitter’s reasoning for blocking the story.
Taibbi’s characterization of the documents amounted to a sharp criticism of how Twitter’s previous management — before Musk bought it in October for $44 billion — handled the situation and ran the company, alleging without clear evidence that it was biased toward Democrats.
Many of the details released on Friday night had already been public, including the steps the company took around the New York Post article from October 2020 that alleged it had a “smoking-gun email” between Hunter Biden and a Ukrainian businessman. Still, the disclosures are all but guaranteed to roil debate about social media censorship and free speech online.

But you see, Brandon took nothing.
The money for services was paid to corporations owned by corporations owned by corporations all of which are off shore
Yup folks, nothing to see here. Just a rehash of an old story. We haven’t verified it.
Well, I guess until the playbook doesn’t work anymore these scumbags will keep on using it.
Do tell, Mr. Ingram, how NBC is going to verify them.
It must be reiterated over and over
Comcast is a Domestic American Enemy more dangerous to the Republic than all the foreign enemies. COMCAST and it’s people must be destroyed
...alleging without clear evidence...
This was collusion between the federal government and private corporations to strip away free speech.
That is a First Amendment violation and subject to felony prosecution
HUH? When were the “hashed” in the first place that now requires “re-hashing”? Oh, Nothing But Crap news,
Wow I know, I see the word ‘rehashing’, they are already trying to make this sound like it’s old news. Like saying debunked without saying debunked.
“Dude, That Was Like Two Years Ago!”
I think the biggest problem with the laptop is going to be a chain of custody issue. Unfortunately, it was handed over so many times to so many people that it will be deemed corrupted by the system.
They didn’t know the Hunter Biden story was true or not, but they were more than happy to rely on the biased opinion of 51 current and former intelligence ‘experts’ - that it kind of smelled like it could possibly, maybe, be Russian disinformation.
So, yeah, LET’S RUN WITH THAT and suppress discussion and never ever try to do some actual journalism and find the truth.
Until it’s finally proven to be BS. Then, it’s “rehash.”
Hoping in releases to come that the media complicity is exposed and NBC can hash that!

In one sentence NBC notes "including with Rep Ro Khanna D-Calif"......and then onto "alleging without clear evidence." NBC is garbage.
Perhaps Musk, or someone similar, should buy NBC and release the internal emails.......
Not holding my breath that the new leadership in the house will do anything about this.
Rehash caught my attention as well. Throwback to the Clinton era ... this is "old news" nothing new here time to move on.
Nothing there until NBC authenticates? How arrogant.
Elon Musk an African American who trusts in MAGA hat tip.
spinnin’ like a top
cancel nbc
“Rehashing?”
Sounds like it’s old news, not worth investigating. You’d almost think they’re still covering/suppressing the Biden corruption . . .
