Elon Musk is putting the Democratic National Committee on high alert as he threatens to reveal more “smoking guns” in his efforts to release internal communications and documents.

Musk, who recently became Twitter CEO, released never-before-seen information about the social media platform’s decision to suppress news about Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020. The “Twitter files,” as the internal information was called, were the subject of a more than two-hour audio chat on Twitter Spaces Saturday night.

The billionaire called the censorship of the laptop tantamount to interference in the 2020 election.

“When Twitter does a team’s bidding before an election and shuts down dissenting votes in a crucial election, that’s the definition of election interference,” Musk said per the Daily Mail.

He went so far as to call Twitter an “arm of the Democratic National Committee.”

“It’s absurd,” Musk said.

Musk admitted during the audio chat that he hadn’t read the Twitter files, so his “understanding is limited.” However, it seemed to him that “a very different standard applies to Republican candidates in the US than to Democratic candidates”.

Asked if he would make public requests from the DNC and the Biden campaign to remove specific posts on Twitter beyond Hunter Biden’s laptop, Musk said, “Yes, the intent is to declassify all files.”

Frankly, this should blow the hinges off the likes of Watergate as scandals go.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The press is doing its level best to sell this as a nothing burger and the controversy mainly about whether Hunters dick-pics should be exposed or not.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
