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.

The point isn’t to smear Hunter, the point is to demonstrate that Twitter’s management rolled over and suppressed a legitimate news story for no reason other than the Biden campaign asked them to. It doesn’t matter what the actual story was about.

@kim You're correct that the point isn't to smear Hunter Biden -- it's to smear his father. The docs show that Twitter management/workers deliberated hard over what to do -- exercising serious due diligence. They made the wrong call at first, and then reversed the bad decision.
