Musk reveals Twitter election interference

 Red States:

If you were following politics way back in early 2021, you may remember a story that broke (click here to read my write-up on it) describing a “secret cabal” that colluded to rig the outcome of the 2020 election. Here’s how TIME described it.

The key phrase there in regard to Twitter is the attempt to “steer media coverage and control the flow of information.” That’s exactly what was happening until Musk’s takeover, and he seems keen to expose everything the old regime did.

...

There are more examples of Twitter putting its thumb on the scale than one can reasonably keep track of. Obviously, its policy against COVID-19 “misinformation” was a big source of bias until Musk put a stop to it recently. Still, nothing touches what social media companies did with the Hunter Biden story. Even today, it’s astounding to think back to just how far they went to suppress what was obviously true information in order to benefit Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.

...

In the end, Donald Trump lost by just tens of thousands of votes in three states. What would have happened if there was actually a week-long onslaught in the media over the laptop instead of the story being suppressed? We’ll never know for sure, but for my money, that entire ordeal was the clearest evidence of the cycle that the election was “rigged.” If you can control the flow of information, you can control enough votes on the margins to reach a preferred outcome.

...

I suspect the leftist at Twitter and other social media companies deliberately misled voters to defeat Trump and put in an incompetent Biden administration and Democrats who have ruined the economy hurt national defense and set loose a war in Europe because of their irrational Trump hatred.   Democrats are really angry with Musk for revealing the truth.
