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 Hey, Dan.
I'm of the opinion that this is Step 1 of a operation... maybe for the R House to unite behind a "root out all the Democrats in Social Media tech companies" campaign.

@Wikisteff @dangillmor If you read the entire thread, you can tell they are trying to turn due diligence into a moral outrage and calling it First Amendment violations. They are also acting like the FCC doesn't exist.

@KaoticPersona @dangillmor Did the thread finish now? It was still in progress, albeit unnumbered when I quit.

@Wikisteff @dangillmor For the most part. They are saying more will come out. But you gotta love how the right wing is quickly glomping on this like it proves anything they said. It is just another moral outrage being stoked by bad actors to cause more fracturing of the nation.
