Twitter was set ablaze Friday evening when CEO Elon Musk directed users to an information dump about the company's behind-the-scenes musings on the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop.
Journalist Matt Taibbi spearheaded the disclosure of the "Twitter Files" in a lengthy thread of tweets, releasing internal communications highlighting how political groups prodded Twitter to take down tweets and officials at the company grappled with the politically fraught decision.
In October 2020, the New York Post published an article with emails from Hunter Biden's laptop about his business affairs overseas that appeared to indicate future President Joe Biden was involved in some of his dealings.
Twitter quickly used tools typically "reserved for extreme cases" such as child pornography to block users from sharing the story and temporarily locked the news outlet's account before later backtracking, per Taibbi. The incident became a rallying cry for conservatives who accused Big Tech of targeting them politically.
Here are the top five bombshell revelations from the Twitter Files.
