/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration is reportedly investigating a company owned by Twitter CEO Elon Musk.

According to a lengthy article Monday night by Reuters news agency, the medical-device firm Neuralink is under investigation by the Agriculture Department for animal-welfare violations.

Citing “documents reviewed by Reuters and sources familiar with the investigation and company operations,” the British news agency reported that the accusations include rushing the animal-testing process and inflicting unnecessary death and suffering on test animals.

The USDA inspector general is looking into violations of the Animal Welfare Act, which covers experimental animals.

Neuralink is working on brain injuries, including paralysis preventing someone from walking, by trying to develop a brain implant. (Read more from “Report: Biden Administration Launches Probe Into Elon Musk Company Neuralink” HERE)

Trump Responds to Musk’s Hunter Biden ‘Twitter Files’ as Liberals Melt Down

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former President Trump gave his thoughts on Elon Musk’s release of ‘Twitter Files’ that exposes the social media platform’s attempt at suppressing a story and intervening in the 2020 election.

Using his own social media platform, Truth Social, Trump argued that the bombshell tweets proves that Americans are living in a very corrupt country.

“Wow! That’s a really big story about Twitter and various forms of government Fraud including, specifically, Election Fraud,” Trump wrote, adding “the same level of Fraud took place with the other Big Tech companies, if not even worse (if that’s possible?)… we are living in a VERY CORRUPT COUNTRY &, AS THEY ARE SAYING ALL OVER THE INTERNET, ‘NOTHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT & FBI ARE TOTALLY CORRUPT.’ But they’ll keep investigating ‘boxes’ that were legally & openly taken from the W.H.”

The next morning, Trump went back and commented further on the revelations.

“So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION?” Trump wrote, adding“a Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution…our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”

Treasury Sec. Yellen Bizarrely Says Musk’s Twitter Content Needs to Be Under ‘Control’

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Twitter’s content moderation should be held to certain standards as its new owner Elon Musk launches a new feud with Apple over issues of “free speech.”

Musk went on a tweetstorm against Apple on Monday, alleging that the tech giant had slashed its ad spending and threatened to delist Twitter from its App Store after Musk’s buyout. In one tweet, the billionaire asked, “Do they hate free speech in America?”

Two days later at an event hosted by the New York Times, Yellen branched out from her role as the country’s chief financial officer to offer her own take, according to Reuters.

“I think it’s a good thing, if Apple is looking at the content,” she said. “Most broadcast stations are subjected to standards in terms of what they broadcast to the public. And Twitter’s not really that different than other broadcast stations.”

It isn’t clear what led to her remark. But Reuters reported that when she was asked if it was good that companies like Apple and Google can make content demands, she said, “It’s a kind of control that I think is needed.” (Read more from “Treasury Sec. Yellen Bizarrely Says Musk’s Twitter Content Needs to Be Under ‘Control’” HERE)

TOTAL 2020 ELECTION FRAUD; Hunter Biden Laptop Bombshell: Twitter Invented Reason to Censor Post’s Reporting; Musk Leaks Twitter’s Biden Files; ‘Biden Team’ Requested Twitter Scrub Scandalous Hunter Biden Info Days Before 2020 Election; Tucker Carlson: Twitter Files Biggest ‘First Amendment Violation In Modern History’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. . .Twitter “just freelanced” its baseless decision to censor The Post’s bombshell Hunter Biden laptop scoop in the run up to the 2020 election — with top-level workers at the social media giant agreeing that controversial decision was “f–ked,” damning insider communications released by CEO Elon Musk Friday reveal. . .

Musk tweeted a link to the account of independent journalist Matt Taibbi shortly after 6 p.m., who shed light on Twitter’s shady censorship decision by posting what appeared to be redacted emails between Twitter employees.

The decision to censor The Post’s story was made “at the highest levels of the company,” according to Taibbi, but without Dorsey’s involvement. . .

According to Taibbi, the social media company “took extraordinary steps to suppress” The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story, removing links to the expose shared by users and posting warnings that it may be “unsafe.”

Taibbi said that Twitter even resorted to a rarely used tactic to stop the dissemination of the story – blocking the sharing of links to the story via direct message, a tool usually only used in “extreme cases,” such as to stop the distribution of child pornography.

‘This Will Be Awesome’: Musk Leaks Twitter’s Hunter Biden Files

By Politico. Elon Musk is stoking controversy on a new front, this time revealing sensitive internal deliberations at Twitter around Hunter Biden’s personal computer files in the fall of 2020.

On Friday evening, Twitter’s new owner promoted a leak of documents on his personal account, just the latest sign that the tech billionaire continues to steer the platform in a direction more favorable to conservatives and libertarians. Ahead of the midterm elections, Musk urged his followers to vote Republican. Last month, he reinstated former President Donald Trump’s Twitter account after taking an informal online poll. . .

Musk teased the event hours before it began to spill out in Taibbi’s tweets, promising, “This will be awesome,” and suggested he was personally involved in its preparation.

“We’re double-checking some facts, so probably start live tweeting in about 40 mins,” Musk tweeted as users waited for the promised disclosures. His latest controversial move came before the dust had settled from his last one, which saw Musk block Ye’s account after the rapper tweeted, “I like Hitler.” (Read more from “‘This Will Be Awesome’: Musk Leaks Twitter’s Hunter Biden Files” HERE)

‘Biden Team’ Requested Twitter Scrub Scandalous Hunter Biden Info Days Before 2020 Election

By National Review. In an email dated October 24, just days before the 2020 presidential election, the “Biden team” reportedly demanded that Twitter scrub information critical of Hunter Biden from the site, according to a jaw dropping release of “The Twitter Files” by new CEO Elon Musk.

Twitter staff forwarded a request from what seemed to be the Biden campaign to delete five tweets in particular.

“More to review from the Biden team,” the message, from the first installment of the documents analyzed by journalist Matt Taibbi, read. “Handled,” was the reply.

Three of the tweets, from since-suspended accounts, featured scandalous graphic images of the president’s son posing with his genitalia exposed, according to archives, which were leaked from the laptop that the New York Post first uncovered. In one image, Hunter Biden’s nudity is blotted out by red digital paint.

Also on October 24, the Democratic National Committee requested two tweets related to Hunter Biden be removed. One, from James Wood, was a parody Biden presidential ad displaying his son smoking what appears to be a crack pipe.

Tucker Carlson Calls Twitter Files the Biggest ‘First Amendment Violation in Modern History’

By Daily Caller. Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Friday that documents released by Elon Musk and journalist Matt Taibbi detail a massive “systemic violation” of the First Amendment.

“One of the most extraordinary moments in the history of social media is unfolding right now as we speak. It began when Elon Musk took control of Twitter. When he bought the company, he promised to reveal its corruption, the extent to which Twitter engaged in politically motivated censorship, including the unlawful illegal censorship of American citizens at the direction of the U.S. government.”

Musk released the documents to journalist Matt Taibbi, who posted a lengthy thread on Twitter. The documents reportedly detail how company executives made moderation decisions and accommodated requests from the Biden campaign.

Musk: Brain Implants ‘Ready for Humans’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Elon Musk has brought the world reusable rockets, traffic-easing tunnels, new vactrain possibilities, fleets of electric vehicles, a low-orbit internet provider, and liberal apoplexy over his recent Twitter acquisition. Rather than rest on his laurels, the world’s richest man indicated on Wednesday that his brain-computer interfaces now have the potential to enable the blind to see, the mute to talk, and the lame to walk. What’s more, he claimed they are ready for human implantation. . .

On Wednesday, Elon Musk held a “Show and Tell” event at Neuralink’s headquarters in Fremont, California, revealing the latest advancements in Neuralink’s brain-computer interface technology.

Musk announced at the event and on Twitter that Neuralink plans to begin implanting devices into human patients within six months. A Neuralink brain implant requires that a patient have a portion of the skull removed and wires threaded into the brain tissue. The likely candidates for implantation are those with severe spinal cord injuries.

This announcement comes two years after Neuralink received an FDA Breakthrough Device designation, after years of tests on primates, and amid discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which Bloomberg reported have been going well.

Musk Confirms: Yes, Twitter Has Interfered in Elections

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Newly minted Twitter CEO and owner Elon Musk revealed Wednesday that under [previous] leadership, the social media giant did in fact interfere in elections. Musk promised “Twitter 2.0” will change course and operate transparently on the issue.

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.

At the time platform executives, including then CEO Jack Dorsey, justified the multi-month banning of the account belonging to the New York Post — the nation’s oldest paper — whose reporters broke the laptop story in October 2020. They also banned White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany after she shared the story, along with countless others who did the same.

During testimony on Capitol Hill in 2021, Dorsey admitted the social media platform had no factual basis for censoring the story. (Read more from “Musk Confirms: Yes, Twitter Has Interfered in Elections” HERE)

Users Celebrate Elon Musk Revealing Twitter ‘Interfered in Elections:’ ‘New Twitter Rocks’

By Fox News. Conservatives buzzed after Elon Musk admitted that, prior to his ownership, Twitter “interfered in elections.”

He pledged that under him the company, which he dubbed “Twitter 2.0,” will be more effective and “transparent” than the previous iteration.

Musk provided his remarks in response to a comment on a recent Reuters article which reported former Twitter head of trust and safety Yoel Roth’s claims that Twitter is not safe under Musk.

At the same conference, Roth – who left Twitter shortly after Musk took the reins – admitted it was a “mistake” for Twitter to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story just ahead of the 2020 presidential election. . .

[An] account stated, “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.” (Read more from “Users Celebrate Elon Musk Revealing Twitter ‘Interfered in Elections:’ ‘New Twitter Rocks’” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced that he and Apple CEO Tim Cook met Wednesday and claimed to have resolved a dispute over the social media site’s presence on the tech giant’s App Store.

“Good conversation,” Musk posted on Twitter two and a half hours after he tweeted a five-second video showing a pond at Apple’s headquarters. “Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store. Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so.”

Musk claimed Monday that Apple threatened to boot Twitter from the App Store, targeting Cook in a series of tweets, as well as amplifying a claim from LBRY, a content creation site, about censorship. Musk noted that the option of designing a smartphone was on the table if Twitter was removed from the app stores of Apple and Google.

Elon Musk Tweeted a Meme About CNN…then They Melted Down

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Elon Musk received an official response from CNN on Monday after posting a meme pocking fun at the channel’s hyperventilating coverage of his ownership of Twitter.

The meme was a clearly photoshopped picture of a “report” that read, “CNN: Elon Musk could threaten free speech on Twitter by literally allowing people to speak freely.” The picture featured a screen capture of anchor Don Lemon.

CNN’s official public relation account responded to Musk’s tweet with, “This headline never appeared on CNN. Be better.”

Musk simply replied to CNN with “Lmaoooo” as it is obvious the picture was not from a real CNN segment. (Read more from “Elon Musk Tweeted a Meme About CNN…then They Melted Down” HERE)

Twitter CEO Elon Musk said Monday that he will soon be releasing files on how the social media platform has engaged in suppressing free speech.

“The Twitter Files on free speech suppression soon to be published on Twitter itself,” Musk tweeted. “The public deserves to know what really happened.”
