Did Elon Musk Spend $44 Billion To Say the Truth About His Son?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Why did Elon Musk, a 51-year-old celebrity entrepreneur who built the largest fortune in the world by capitalizing on the frontiers of science, embark on a $44 billion crusade to bring free speech to Twitter, and with it, a target on his back? Was he motivated by fame (which he already had)? By ego (which every billionaire has)? His desire to leave a political legacy (which billionaires can easily buy)? Or was there a more personal motivation that transcends the obvious reasons at the surface? The answer probably includes some mix of all of the above.

Before Musk took over the company, dissent from the new left-wing orthodoxy — which, among other things, dictated that one can defy biology and “transition” to the opposite sex — was forbidden. The second batch of “Twitter Files” revealed the company engaged in widespread shadowbanning to suppress accounts for whatever the platform’s ideological censors labeled as hate speech. . .

In June, it was reported that Musk’s 18-year-old son, Xavier Alexander Musk, came out as transgender and filed to change his name to Vivian Jenna Wilson in April. In his petition to the court, he wrote that he requested the change because “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.”

Precisely when Musk’s son began to identify as a girl is unknown, but it’s clear that as Musk contemplated a buyout of the blue bird app, issues were brewing in the family. . .

On Monday, Musk may have revealed the true intentions of his digital crusade with a morning tweet.

‘Twitter Files’ Confirm Stanford Professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya Was ‘Blacklisted’ for COVID-19 Information

By Fox News.
The second installment of Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” confirmed that Twitter was secretly “blacklisting” certain users and tweets that did not align with the platform’s left-leaning agenda.

Stanford University professor of medicine, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, was one of many on the platform’s “blacklist,” according to information revealed Thursday by The Free Press reporter Bari Weiss.

Bhattacharya was secretly blacklisted because he “argued that Covid lockdowns would harm children,” and was thus unable to trend on the platform, Weiss reported in a Twitter thread. . .

On “The Ingraham Angle,” Bhattacharya said the suppression of his voice, which questioned much of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s guidance and the COVID-19 policies, ultimately harmed data, children and the American public.

He believes he was essentially silenced because the opposing “arguments were not strong enough to survive the light of day.” (Read more from “‘Twitter Files’ Confirm Stanford Professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya Was ‘Blacklisted’ for COVID-19 Information” HERE)

More Twitter Files Revealed, New Drop Details Trump’s ‘Lifetime Ban’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Bari Weiss released part five of the “Twitter Files” on Monday afternoon, specifically detailing the social media company’s removal of former President Donald Trump, a lifetime ban that was reversed last month after Elon Musk took over.

Weiss’ thread picked up the story on January 8, 2021, when Trump had “one remaining strike before being at risk of permanent suspension from Twitter” and he fired off two tweets in the early morning hours. One, a message to those who voted for Trump in the 2020 election, and the second announcing his decision not to attend the inauguration of Joe Biden.

As Weiss explained, “Twitter had resisted calls both internal and external to ban Trump on the grounds that blocking a world leader from the platform or removing their controversial tweets would hide important information that people should be able to see and debate.” That was a stated position of the company, Weiss pointed out. In 2019, Twitter wrote that its “mission is to provide a forum that enables people to be informed and to engage their leaders directly” in order to “protect the public’s right to hear from their leaders and to hold them to account.” . . .

One conversation Weiss tweeted is from an employee who is “from China” and said “I deeply understand how censorship can destroy the public conversation.” Still, Weiss noted, “voices like that one appear to have been a distinct minority within the company” and “many Twitter employees were upset that Trump hadn’t been banned earlier.”

Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey Clash Over Twitter’s Record on Child Porn

/0 Comments/in , /by

CEO Elon Musk and Twitter founder Jack Dorsey clashed on the social media site Friday over Twitter’s track record on dealing with child pornography.

“It is a crime that they refused to take action on child exploitation for years!” Musk responded after conservative commentator Mike Cernovich tweeted at one of three people who resigned from Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council. Cernovich’s post linked to a Jan. 2021 New York Post report on a lawsuit over Twitter’s alleged failure to remove a pornographic video featuring a child.

Ex-Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey responded to Musk, saying that the claim was, “false.”

“No, it is not,” Musk responded in another tweet. Musk added that Ella Irwin, the new head of Trust and Safety at Twitter, raised the issue with former CEO Parag Agrawal and former CEO Ned Segal, but they denied her request for more staffing to address child porn.

Musk has previously said that dealing with child sexual exploitation on the social media site would be the top priority.

Twitter Files: Executives Were Looking for Any Excuse to Ban President Donald Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk’s Twitter released another batch of internal discussions on Friday night, which revealed that executives at the social media company had established the “framework” for banning Donald Trump’s account before the events of January 6, and used the Capitol riots as their excuse to finally blacklist the President. The goal of the left-wing executives is clear in statements such as, “the narrative that Trump and his friends have pursued over the course of this election and frankly the last 4+ years must be taken into account.”

The documents posted to Twitter by journalist Matt Taibbi is the third release of what are known as “Twitter Files” and the first release of documents pertaining to President Trump’s account ban in January 2021.

In a lengthy Twitter thread, Taibbi explained that the internal communications at Twitter between January 6 and January 8 2021 suggest that even the employees of the social media company understood the move to censor a sitting U.S. president would have a historical impact.

“Is this the first sitting head of state to ever be suspended?” one Twitter user asked in internal communications.

After banning Trump, Twitter executives appeared to relish their newfound power, and even flirted with banning future the official @POTUS and @WhiteHouse accounts, but ultimately decided the accounts “will be transitioned over to the new administration in due course and will not be suspended by Twitter unless absolutely necessary.”

Elon Musk Fires Twitter Lawyer James Baker, Former Top FBI Lawyer, Over Hunter Biden Story ‘Suppression’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. Elon Musk has fired Twitter’s deputy general counsel, James Baker, over his alleged suppression of internal documents about blocking The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop exposé.

“In light of concerns about Baker’s possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue, he was exited from Twitter today,” Musk tweeted Tuesday.

Musk added that he questioned Baker before his firing about the events surrounding the laptop suppression scandal and that the lawyer’s explanation was “unconvincing.”

Baker was previously general counsel for the FBI under former Director James Comey and a key figure in the bureau’s investigation into false claims of collusion between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

During his time at the FBI, Baker worked with fiercely anti-Trump FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. (Read more from “Elon Musk Fires Twitter Lawyer James Baker, Former Top FBI Lawyer, Over Hunter Biden Story ‘Suppression'” HERE)

Ousted Twitter counsel Jim Baker vetted ‘Twitter Files’ without Elon Musk’s knowledge, Matt Taibbi reveals

By Fox News. Matt Taibbi, the journalist who first broke the news of Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” revealed that the company’s top lawyer had “vetted” what information was shared without the knowledge of the new boss.

Musk announced on Tuesday that he had terminated Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker “in light of concerns about Baker’s possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue.”

And when asked by a Twitter user if Baker was able to explain himself, Musk replied “His explanation was …unconvincing.”

Moments later, Taibbi began his own Twitter thread calling it a “Twitter Files Supplemental.”

“On Friday, the first installment of the Twitter files was published here. We expected to publish more over the weekend. Many wondered why there was a delay,” Taibbi tweeted. “We can now tell you part of the reason why. On Tuesday, Twitter Deputy General Counsel (and former FBI General Counsel) Jim Baker was fired. Among the reasons? Vetting the first batch of ‘Twitter Files’ – without knowledge of new management.” (Read more from “Ousted Twitter counsel Jim Baker vetted ‘Twitter Files’ without Elon Musk’s knowledge, Matt Taibbi reveals” HERE)

Top FBI Lawyer-turned-Twitter Censor, James Baker, Is Fired for Covering up the News and Defying Musk. When Will the Incestous, Partisan Media Finally Admit Twittergate Is Real?

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Twitter purge is on after Elon Musk dropped bombshell revelations of a direct pipeline from DC insiders to social media censors at Twitter. . .

On Monday, the White House blew off the scandal. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called the report ‘old news’ and a ‘distraction.’ . . .

These are the same journalists who shrugged off the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020, admitted that was a mistake just a few months ago, and are now turning a blind eye to another scandal involving – none other than – Hunter’s laptop. . .

ABC, CBS, and NBC News each gave the story fewer than 15 seconds of airtime on their weekend prime-time broadcasts.

Major U.S. newspapers spared only few column inches. (Read more from “Top FBI Lawyer-turned-Twitter Censor, James Baker, Is Fired for Covering up the News and Defying Musk. When Will the Incestous, Partisan Media Finally Admit Twittergate Is Real?” HERE)

By New York Post. Elon Musk has claimed the risk of his assassination is “quite significant.” . . .

“Frankly the risk of something bad happening to me, or even literally being shot, is quite significant,” he said.

By Daily Wire. Twitter CEO Elon Musk told groveling paparazzi over the weekend night that he will “never again” sign autographs as he warned that the risk that someone will try to assassinate him is actually “quite significant.”

Elon Musk Asks if Snowden, Assange Should Be Pardoned, This Is What Twitter Followers Say

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former Central Intelligence Agency contractor Edward Snowden, a self-proclaimed whistleblower, as well as Wikileaks founder Julian Assange have been pursued by the U.S. government for years over accusations they leaked confidential and sensitive information.

What Happened: Elon Musk on Saturday ran a poll on whether Assange and Snowden should be pardoned. He said the survey was not an expression of an opinion, but was meant to honor a promise he had made earlier. . .

Snowden Responds: Quote-tweeting the poll, Snowden said he and Assange were charged under a law designed to prevent fair trials. This law was originally aimed at suppressing an old, anti-war movement, he noted.

“Defendants are forbidden from mounting a public interest defense, juries prohibited from hearing it,” he added. (Read more from “Elon Musk Asks if Snowden, Assange Should Be Pardoned, This Is What Twitter Followers Say” HERE)

Biden White House: The Truth About 2020 Election Censorship Fraud Is “Not Healthy” for America (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday it was “not healthy” for Twitter owner Elon Musk to publish internal company files revealing Twitter’s censorship of The Post’s 2020 reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop.

“What is happening — it’s frankly, it’s not healthy. It won’t do anything to help a single American improve their lives. And so look, we see this as an interesting, you know, coincidence, and you know, it’s a distraction,” Jean-Pierre concluded during her Monday briefing, offering a lengthy denunciation of Musk’s Friday reveal of how Twitter execs decided to suppress The Post’s damning expose.

“We see this as an interesting, or a coincidence, if I may, that he would so haphazardly — Twitter would so haphazardly push this distraction that is full of old news, if you think about it,” Jean-Pierre said, brushing off the politically motivated denial of free speech protections raised by Musk’s document dump.

“And at the same time, Twitter is facing very real and very serious questions about the rising volume of anger, hate and anti-Semitism on their platform and how they’re letting it happen.”

The voice of the Biden administration did not note that the Musk-led Twitter booted rapper Kanye West last week for tweeting a swastika after making a series of antisemitic remarks — or that as of Monday, the nation’s most famous Jew-basher’s 18.4-million-follower account on Facebook-owned Instagram remains active.

White House Dismisses Twitter Censoring Stories on Behalf of Joe Biden as ‘Old News’; ’Distraction’ From All the ’Anger, Hate, and Antisemitism on Their Platform’

By Breitbart. The White House dismissed Monday new information released by Twitter regarding corporate decisions during the 2020 election to censor stories and posts about President Joe Biden’s son Hunter.

“That is full of old news, if you think about it,” White House press secretary Karine Jean Pierre said during the daily briefing, when asked for the White House’s reaction to the new information unveiled by Twitter’s new CEO Elon Musk. . .

But Jean-Pierre did not react to a question on Biden’s views about social media companies censoring information for his and his family’s behalf.

Instead, she argued that Musk and Twitter were trying to use the information as a “distraction.” (Read more from “White House Dismisses Twitter Censoring Stories on Behalf of Joe Biden as ‘Old News’; ’Distraction’ From All the ’Anger, Hate, and Antisemitism on Their Platform’” HERE)
