Twitter boss and tech billionaire Elon Musk has launched another attack on the American Democrats. This time, he tweeted through internal Twitter documents about the controversy surrounding a New York Post article that appeared just before the 2020 presidential election. The article included an email from the son of the current US president, Hunter Biden, in connection with his foreign business dealings.
“What actually happened to the Twitter suppressed Hunter Biden story will (…) be published on Twitter!” Musk announced beforehand, further writing “It’s gonna be great”. Twitter subsequently blocked the newspaper’s article and account, alleging that the report violated rules prohibiting the dissemination of information obtained through illegal hacks. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey later admitted the platform’s actions against the New York Post were a mistake. Twitter then changed its rules.
Musk shared a series of tweets from journalist Matt Taibbi. Among other things, they showed in several screenshots of internal communications that the blocking of the “New York Post” article was also the subject of controversial debates within the company. Taibbi also wanted to prove an alleged influence of the Democrats on the platform.
Biden son targeted by Republicans
Biden’s son Hunter’s foreign dealings had made headlines in the past and provided Republicans with political attacks on Democrat Joe Biden. Cases in Ukraine, for example, raised questions: Between 2014 and 2019, Hunter Biden held a lucrative position on the board of directors of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, while Joe Biden was responsible for Ukraine as US vice president.
Musk announced further releases. At the end of October, he bought Twitter for about $44 billion. Before the midterm elections in November, he campaigned for the Republicans on the platform. He later said on the platform that he would support a presidential nomination from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. He also unlocked former US President Donald Trump’s account.
