Internal documents revealed by Elon Musk show that Democrats colluded with the social media giants like Twitter and openly violated Americans’ basic right to free speech.
If certain speech is politically inconvenient, such as the Hunter Biden laptop story, Twitter would censor, delete, and ban users at the Democrats’ request.
🚨 POLL: Is censorship out of control?
YES 👍 or NO 👎
President Trump, who was wrongfully banned by Twitter for years until recently reinstated by Musk, says this information proves that Americans have been battling very influential and corrupt social media platforms.
Trump responded, “Wow! That’s a really big story about Twitter and various forms of government Fraud including, specifically, Election Fraud.”
“The same level of Fraud took place with the other Big Tech companies, if not even worse (if that’s possible?),” Trump wrote to Truth Social. “We are living in a VERY CORRUPT COUNTRY &, AS THEY ARE SAYING ALL OVER THE INTERNET, ‘NOTHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT & FBI ARE TOTALLY CORRUPT.’”
“But they’ll keep investigating ‘boxes’ that were legally & openly taken from the W.H.,” Trump added.
Trump also said, “So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION?”
“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution…our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!” he said.

In an attempt to downplay the significance of this story, left-wing outlets like The Daily Beast suggests the evidence is “overhyped” and “deeply underwhelming.”
CNN published a report claiming Twitter employees merely “debated how to handle” the Hunter Biden story, and that this information “was already known about the incident.”
In reality, much of this information was never before made public.
Musk released internal emails showing that Biden’s campaign team instructed Twitter employees to remove politically inconvenient content in October 2020, just weeks before the election.
“More to review from the Biden team,” one email read from a Twitter employee with five tweet URLs. “Thanks all.”
“Handled these,” another Twitter employee responded.
Twitter employees were ready and available to help Democrats for political purposes.

Twitter even locked White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany out of her account for sharing content about the Hunter Biden story.
Musk said this was merely the “first installment” of a series that Twitter is releasing under Musk’s leadership.
“Tune in for Episode 2 of The Twitter Files tomorrow!” Musk said.
“What you’re about to read is the first installment in a series, based upon thousands of internal documents obtained by sources at Twitter,” Substack journalist Matt Taibbi said.
