'More insinuation than evidence': Columnist tears apart Elon Musk's 'Twitter Files'
Raw StoryFor the past few weeks, tech billionaire Elon Musk has been partnering up with willing reporters to disseminate what he calls the "Twitter Files" — a series of emails and memoranda that purports to reveal how Twitter partnered with federal law enforcement to silence Republicans and various conservative causes on the platform. One of the biggest sore spots has been how a New York Post story on Hunter Biden's laptop was suppressed as "disinformation" in 2020 — which turned out to be in error. That being said, wrote columnist Philip Bump from The Washington Post, the documents revealed in the "Twitter Files" don't actually show nefarious intent of any sort. "Information about Twitter’s decision to block sharing of the Post story — a decision quickly reversed — has been published in caches by writers working with Musk," wrote Bump.
