Elon Musk says, "Much more to The Twitter Files: Covid Edition than this introductory thread."
Admire the strategy of The Twitter Files. First they showed how Twitter was putting their thumbs on the scales of public debate for one side of the political aisle. Then they showed that in many cases they were doing so at the request on the government (in clear violation of the First Amendment). And now they are showing how the government was censoring any information (no matter how true or scientifically sound) that was at odds with the official government position when it came to Covid. And Elon is saying even more is coming out about how the science was suppressed at a time when people needed good information to make life-changing decisions.
It wasn't just the Biden Administration - it was the Trump White House as well. It wasn't just Twitter either - it was also Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and others as well.
When the Biden administration took over, its agenda for the American people can be summed up as: Be very afraid of Covid and do exactly what we say to stay safe.
This agenda included asking Twitter to ban certain voices such as Big Pharma and Covid vaccine skeptic Alex Berenson. Thank goodness for the Joe Rogan podcast. Seriously. Rogan gave Berenson a platform so people could hear what he had to say, which was reasonable, informed, and as it turns out true! And thank goodness for Elon Musk who reinstated Berenson as one of his first acts as new owner of Twitter
