Elon Musk vicariously publishes internal emails from Twitter's Hunter Biden laptop drama

Taylor Hatmaker@tayhatmaker / 11:26 PM EST•December 2, 2022

Elon Musk reminded his followers on Friday that owning Twitter now means he controls every aspect of the company — including what its employees said behind closed doors before he took over.

Earlier this week, Musk teased the release of what he called “The Twitter Files,” declaring that the public “deserves to know what really happened” behind the scenes during Twitter’s decision to stifle a story about Hunter Biden back in 2020.

On Friday evening, Musk delivered, sort of. Twitter’s new owner shared a thread from author and Substack writer Matt Taibbi who is apparently now in possession of the trove of internal documents, which he opted to painstakingly share one tweet at a time, in narrative form.

Taibbi’s decision to reveal a selection of the documents one tweet at a time was apparently not painstaking enough. One screenshot, now deleted, published Jack Dorsey’s private personal email address. Another shared an unredacted personal email belonging to Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), who expressed concerns about Twitter’s action at the time. Both incidents appear to run afoul of Twitter’s anti-doxing policy.

1. That man has access to the personal info and private messages of every Twitter account

"Here, Matt. These are internal documents from the company I now own. I want to you to turn them into a tweet-form narrative that makes me look righteous and keeps users parked on my website." - Elon, probably

2. Exactly. He is a thinned skinned narcissist that is offended easily

3. Twitter users to Elon

Can’t buy me love.

4. Will he be releasing internal emails from his other companies? Will he dox average users?

Will he be selective to tell the narrative he wants his fan-stans to believe?

This guy is a fucking business nightmare.

9. He is doing it because he was attacked

Letting people know how Twitter was run before he bought it. I always wondered when I was told not to open a link because my computer could become infected. Seems like this was a lie to discourage me from looking at certain tweets.

5. May he, and his enablers, receive everything they deserve.

7. So now mush has Hunter Biden's laptop?????

This shit is Comedy Gold.

11. No - it's about a story the NY post wrote about the laptop

And Twitter inside emails about how to frame why the story was squelched.

8. Part 2 is coming today

Was impressed with Rep Ro Khanna

[Goodheart]

12. So, what's the point? That Joe Biden would have lost if Twitter had allowed posts about something

we already knew was floating around out there?

YAWN.

13. I think we should always refer to it as "Hunter Biden's" laptop

Given that there's no proof it's actually his.
