"Episode 1" of Elon Musk's Twitter Files Dropped 12/2/2022: Analysis
Huge implications for free speech in America; he revealed something many conspiracy theorists have believed for years - that those in DC can tell Big Tech who to censor, and often do. Now confirmed.
Elon Musk is hinting there’s more to come, too.
“Episode 2” is coming tomorrow, he hinted in a tweet minutes ago.
What Episode 1 revealed today — a retweet from Musk of a tweet thread by investigative reporter Matt Taibbi — was certainly a big revelation.
Get brought up to speed and see screenshots of the tweets here: http://fulcrum.news/blog/2022/12/2/breaking-elon-musk-reveals-the-twitter-files-reveals-direct-collusion-between-biden-white-house-and-twitter-inc-to-silence-critics
Also listen to today’s podcast episode, I walk through the revelations as well as speculate on the Twitter Files’ possible political impact.
One thing is for sure: this was an unexpected political earthquake in America, and it will have an impact on how Big Tech relates to DC — how large or how small an impact may depend on how widely the Twitter Files are read and shared by the public.
If everyone saw these dire email exchanges — of Twitter execs deciding which Americans can continue to have online free speech, seemingly at the drop of a hat from some Biden Bureaucrat… no real review process… nothing to challenge… there would likely be broad calls for change, and greater oversight, on other platforms.
We all know the proverbial “Smoking Man” from X-Files exists: that quiet high up government bureaucrat who tells social media when it’s time to quiet a certain trending topic, etc.
But to actually see the emails, and the mundane way in which our censorship sausage is made here in the USA by unelected techies in San Francisco and the Valley, is something else together.
A veil has been drawn back.
