Earlier this week, Musk's measures to protect free speech on Twitter, including the elimination of its COVID "misinformation policy," were met with a promise by the White House to keep "a close eye" on the social media platform.

The new Twitter owner made it clear he believes the stakes are high.

"This is a battle for the future of civilization. If free speech is lost even in America, tyranny is all that lies ahead," he tweeted Monday.

On Monday night, some Twitter users noticed the platform had dropped its COVID-19 misinformation policy. A post on the "transparency page of Twitter's website said: "Effective November 23, 2022, Twitter is no longer enforcing the COVID-19 misinformation policy."

During the pandemic, many censored or suppressed tweets, labeled "misinformation," expressed viewpoints that are now acknowledged to be true or legitimate arguments, such as the ineffectiveness of masks, lockdowns and vaccines, and the theory that SARS-CoV-2 originated in a lab in Wuhan, China.
SARS-CoV-2 may have been released from a lab in China, but it originated in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The research was moved to Wuhan in 2015, and two of the researchers on that North Carolina team were from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Elon Musk slams NY Times for ignoring his expose of how Twitter censored Hunter Biden laptop

Elrisala

Elon Musk attacked The New York Times on Saturday for not covering his expose of how Twitter executives were urged by Biden staff to delete tweets relating to the damaging contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Other left-leaning outlets including CBS News, ABC and The Washington Post are also yet to cover the ‘Twitter Files’, despite their contents causing a sensation among American conservatives and free-speech advocates.

In response to the alleged lack of coverage from the Times, Musk described the newspaper as an ‘unregistered lobbying firm for far left politicians’.

The comment came in response to a tweet from conservative radio host Clay Travis, who said, ‘There is not one single article about @elonmusk or the @twitter email release last night on @nytimes app this morning.’

Musk responded: ‘That is because The New York Times has become, for all intents and purposes, an unregistered lobbying firm for far left politicians’.

To my friends in the Republican Party:   

If your patriotism is genuine, not all bluff and bluster, let loose the dogs of war.

Because true patriots will no longer stand to see our rights trampled by the DNC and its slimy cronies in media and the bowels of government.

"Truly incredible -- former Twitter executive @yoyoel, who just got caught fabricating a fake justification for censoring a media outlet, says the decision to ban Trump after Jan 6 was impelled by the "trauma" he and other "content moderators" experienced online that fateful day"  (Video)

Twitter apparently outsourced the task to liberal (but not crazy) commentator Matt Taibbi.

I knew he must of been a liberal right off the bat when he posted something about Hillary's email scandal being a big nothing-burger (I don't remember exact phrase he used, but that sums it up).

That is correct, or Reuters or UPI or AFP.  It's a direct result of all the MSM news outlets closing their regional and overseas news bureaus and relying solely on those subscription services, which now act as the gatekeepers for the news.

A couple of things about Taibbi.  He's certainly an urban liberal, like nearly all the other MSM journalists, but he has been mugged repeatedly by his own woke colleagues and thus tempered into something of a centrist, like Bari Weiss.  I've followed Taibbi for a long time and he is also more honest than most in his profession, even though he occasionally torques me off when he has a mental tick and momentarily relapses.  But Musk chose well and in letting him do the hatchet work, and now with Weiss.  That'll make it exceedingly hard for the MSM and Biden regime to knock it down, even though they're already trying very hard in disparaging the Friday night dump.

Elon Musk slams liberal media for 'deceiving the American public' and 'not being truthful' by ignoring the Hunter Biden laptop story as they set about smearing Matt Taibbi for his Twitter Files expose of censorship

By Melissa Koenig For Dailymail.Com


•   Elon Musk has slammed journalists who are criticizing Matt Taibbi for releasing documents about Twitter's suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story

•   He said reporters who are smearing Taibbi should 'look in the mirror' and confront their own deceitfulness to 'the American people'

•   Taibbi, 52, has faced backlash from woke journalists — mainly from MSNBC — trashing his ethics and standards since his expose on Friday

•   Many claim he was doing public relations for the world's richest man and did not understand the limitations of the First Amendment

•   But Musk said he had not read much of the documents before handing them to Taibbi and journalist Bari Weiss

•   He said during a Twitter Spaces call that he asked them to make public anything they thought was important for the American people to know

Elon Musk has slammed journalists who are criticizing Matt Taibbi for releasing documents about Twitter's suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story.

In a Twitter Spaces call on Saturday, the 51-year-old billionaire said reporters who are smearing Taibbi for revealing how the social media giant took down tweets about Biden's laptop should 'look in the mirror' and confront their own deceitfulness to 'the American people,' saying they were 'not being truthful' about the story.

Taibbi, 52, has faced backlash from journalists — primarily from MSNBC — trashing his ethics and standards since his exposé revealing how Twitter executives were urged by Biden staff to delete tweets relating to the damaging contents of Hunter Biden's laptop.

Many of the tweets disparaging the American author repeated the same themes, claiming he was just doing public relations for the world's richest man and did not understand limitations to the First Amendment, Mediaite reports. 

But in his Twitter Spaces call on Saturday, Musk said he has 'read hardly any of the Twitter files' as he is focused on 'just getting Twitter healthy.'

Instead, Musk said, he left it up to Taibbi and journalist Bari Weiss to reveal what they thought the American public should know, according to Mediaite reports, indicating he told the journalists to expose whatever they thought was of public interest.

Then on Friday, Taibbi detailed how Twitter staff discussed censoring a New York Post story about Hunter Biden's laptop, even alluding to requests from Biden's team to do so.

'Twitter took extraordinary steps to suppress the story, removing links and posting warnings that it may be 'unsafe,' Taibbi wrote. 'They even blocked its transmission via direct message, a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases, e.g. child pornography.'

Notably, in one exchange a Twitter executive emailed another a list of tweets with the instruction, 'More to review from the Biden team.'

The other executive responded: 'handled these'.

But many woke journalists slammed Taibbi, a former Rolling Stone politics correspondent, for releasing the documents, saying he did not understand journalistic ethics — while others said he was simply doing public relations for the world's richest man.

Hunter Biden laptop whistleblower says he’s ‘vindicated’ by Twitter report

New York Post   By Mark Moore December 4, 2022

The former owner of the computer repair shop who blew the whistle about Hunter Biden’s laptop said he’s been “vindicated” now that Twitter owner Elon Musk released the explosive report on how the social media giant censored The Post’s reporting on the disgraced first son’s shady overseas business dealings.

“I’m grateful. I don’t know how many people know but I basically was financially ruined by Twitter last year. I tried to save my career because Twitter labeled my actions hacking,” John Paul Mac Isaac said in an interview Sunday on Fox News, noting that he sued the company for defamation.

“So obviously watching Elon release this material Friday night was very exciting for me because what I felt like I knew the whole time was true. And I feel vindicated,” he said.

He also said that things could have turned out differently for him and his legal challenges had Musk owned Twitter earlier.

“If he had bought Twitter during the lawsuit, I think things would have worked out a little bit better for me. But you know, it is what it is. And I’m grateful that the truth is coming out now and that I’m vindicated,” Mac Isaac said, joking that if Musk wants free tech support, “he’s got it.”

Musk is a genius.  The absolute massive magnitude of this epic scandal will have 100X the credibility if it is not delivered by a conservative.  Can you imagine Levin dropping this bombshell?  Ears would seize up and ignore at the absolute onset

There is a good reason he is the richest man in the world.  He thinks 20 chess moves ahead.
