1) At least there would be a paper trail.

2) He could have included media outlets which don't carry Democrats water.

3) He could have stated it in public in front of all to see.

In the end, he acknowledged it was wrong and illegal, but did not see fit to actually stop it.

I don't believe even you can possible be that naïve, the FBI is working for the democrat party, not for the American people. They are a wing of the left, that is why they covered up the crime.
Thanks the Elon, the game is up and heads will roll, whether you continue to support and make excuses for the Marxist left or not. There are many more secrets to come out, they are being revealed slowly to give the ignorant lovers of communist who make excuses for them, to be able to comprehend the content.
You should welcome the truth and to have a corrupt government exposed if you have any feeling at all for America. I know you can't be helped, you prove that over and over with every post..

You are *literally* not the only one. I have a Twitter account, have had it since 2008. I hardly use it, and when I do, it's usually to get a coupon or discount code from a vendor for an online purchase. I use my account maybe a few times a year, and don't follow politics.

I know lots of people who don't use Twitter and can't be bothered with yet another waste of time since Facebook took over. Now there's Tik Tok (which is not Twitter) and Instagram (which is not Twitter) and many other social platforms.

But the main point is this: Twitter owns the platform, period. Twitter controls their platform. Just like C-D owns their platform and determines who can post and what they can/can't say, ALL these platforms have a TOS, and users are bound by those. There is no such thing as "freedom of speech" on social media--users are always bound by the TOS by those who own/run the platform the user is choosing to use. Users can be muted, silenced temporarily or permanently, banned outright, their content can be deleted, and they have no recourse.

There was no name calling, just stating a fact, something you wouldn't understand..

Is it because he isn't liked byt he left or right?
1. Taibbi is an outcast, iconoclast, oddball, and both a small l and big L liberal. There can be no claim that he's a republican shill. As someone on the autism spectrum I'm guessing Musk likes outcasts.

2. Taibbi is an astonishingly good writer. He's one of a tiny handful for reporter-types who often writes about finance and economics without making a fool of himself.

I don't follow politics from the person posting in the politics forum.

Interesting. How does that work?

Also, you are missing the point of what was revealed. The government was interfering with the private companies policies. The government threatened the private companies to do their bidding, else suffer government action.

THAT IS ILLEGAL AND THAT IS THE ISSUE!!!

THAT'S the big story now.

Maybe YOU should read the constitution to fully understand it.
I'll wait to see evidence, not hyperbole from MAGAnuts.

Btw, I did study the constitution in a law class I had in undergrad. It was a required class. Most people have no clue what's in the constitution, including the former guy, who couldn't pass a Jr. High Civics test if his life depended on it.

It would be okay with you if those in government contact C-D to request (aka, demand) that certain posts be removed in the political forum?

Trump called it out...all the time. "Fake News" and all that.
He even called it out during the debates.
That's what bothers him (and others) most, I'm sure. They did it right in their face...and then said, "You lost", "You're a Election Denier", etc
They even suspended the account of his Press Secretary!
They constantly put forth lies about Trump to mislead the public...and covered up negative facts about Biden to further mislead.
That results in a election that is not fair & free.
The question now...what to do about it?
