Musk just reinstated the Twitter account of one of America's loudest Nazis.

He knows exactly what he's doing.

The nightmare scenario -- the fascist right taking over major media companies -- is getting more and more real. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/elon-musk-twitter-reinstates-neo-nazi-andrew-anglin-account-1234640390/

Now we see that Musk and/or minions are handing over carefully selected internal Twitter documents to a carefully selected reporter, with the obvious goal of amplifying the Hunter Biden smear campaign.

I'm no fan of Hunter Biden, you should realize what it means when the owner of a social-media company does this.

@dangillmor @pluralistic it mostly makes it impossible for US officials to go after him given it will be seen as “story suppression”. Same for having Trump back.

Elon Musk’s promised Twitter exposé on the Hunter Biden story is a flop that doxxed multiple people

Elon Musk promoted a thread by Matt Taibbi rehashing known information about Twitter’s internal discussions over handling the Hunter Biden laptop leak while doxxing Jack Dorsey and US Representative Ro Khanna.
