Elon Musk keeps peeling back the layers of censorship and scandal that went on at Twitter during the 2020 election.
Musk is allowing Americans to see what really went on behind the scenes and proved Trump right about what happened during the election.
And Elon Musk let Donald Trump in on a secret that will change everything.
Journalist Michael Shellenberger published part four of the “Twitter Files.”
In this exposé Shellenberger revealed the process by which Twitter top employees – led by former Trust and Safety head Yoel Roth and head of Twitter legal Vijaya Gadde – invented new rules as they went along that applied only to Trump so Twitter could ban Trump’s account.
The problem for Twitter began when prominent liberals like Michelle Obama, tech activist Kara Swisher, and the Anti-Defamation League began publicly demanding that Twitter ban Donald Trump’s account in the aftermath of the events of January 6.
But after the events of Jan 6, the internal and external pressure on Twitter CEO @jack grows.

Then-Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was on vacation in the French Polynesia while all this was going on and Shellenberger reported that Dorsey literally phoned it in telling Gadde and Roth to handle this situation.
On January 7 Shellenberger wrote that Dorsey emailed the staff saying Twitter needed to remain consistent in its policies and not permanently nuke accounts after a temporary suspension.
Shellenberger added that Roth emailed Dorsey saying the employees were not happy they could not ban Trump.
The following day Shellenberger wrote that Roth received good news as Twitter now had a brand-new “civic integrity” policy that allowed Twitter to permanently ban accounts like Trump’s after they accumulated five strikes.
Around 11:30 am PT, Roth DMs his colleagues with news that he is excited to share.
“GUESS WHAT,” he writes. “Jack just approved repeat offender for civic integrity.”

Shellenberger then wrote that Roth was forced to tell the staff they could not yet kick Trump off the platform due to the fact that Trump only earned one strike.
“The colleague wants to know if the decision means Trump can finally be banned. The person asks, ‘does the incitement to violence aspect change that calculus?’ Roth says it doesn’t. ‘Trump continues to just have his one strike’ (remaining),” Shellenberger reported.
But by January 8 Twitter changed its mind and invented a new reason to ban Donald Trump’s account that completely contradicted the policy Twitter laid out back in 2019.
On J8, Twitter says its ban is based on “specifically how [Trump’s tweets] are being received & interpreted.”
But in 2019, Twitter said it did “not attempt to determine all potential interpretations of the content or its intent.” https://t.co/2jW1s5pH4W pic.twitter.com/8gZwIDtyUQ

The first four parts of the “Twitter Files” make it painfully clear that a cabal of like-minded left-wing ideologues controlled Twitter’s censorship tools to boost the fortunes of the Democrat Party and hurt Republicans.
Twitter bigwigs like Dorsey, Roth and Gadde panicked because their liberal allies turned up the heat on Twitter to ban Trump, so they scrambled to concoct a justification for booting Trump, which they eventually did.
It’s now telling that the corporate media’s frame of reference on the “Twitter Files” went from saying it was a conspiracy to think the site shadow banned conservatives or coordinated with law enforcement to censor political speech the Democrats did not like.
Once the “Twitter Files” showed this is exactly what happened, members of the press changed the narrative to something along the lines of “oh, everyone already knew Twitter was censoring conservatives and it’s a good thing that happened.”
