  1. Didn’t Republicans accuse Twitter of election interference for doing exactly this with that laptop nonsense?

    >Former President Trump’s campaign worked with Elon Musk’s X to prevent links to hacked campaign materials from circulating on the social media platform last month, according to The New York Times.

    >The news that X and the Trump campaign had coordinated to take down links to the materials — a 271-page document compiled by the campaign to vet Vance — prompted one Democratic congressman to express concern.

    >“So @Jim_Jordan and @SpeakerJohnson, when is the @Weaponization hearing about Trump and @ElonMusk censoring free speech on this platform?” Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) wrote on X.

    >The House Judiciary’s weaponization subcommittee has held multiple hearings focused on the Biden administration’s alleged efforts to censor conservative speech online.

  3. Why else did the Muskball spend so much money buying twitter? He wanted to help out Republicans in the 2024 election.

    I think once he’s done his damage, he will sell Twitter to someone else, because at this point it’s losing so much money, why keep it?

  4. Has anyone else heard these rumors that Trump assaulted Vance’s wife at an early campaign event? Is that what was part of the hidden material?

    A campaign coordinating with social media to suppress materials….hfmm, help Congress?? Maybe DOJ?

  6. Another unreported in kind campaign contribution that the corrupt and incompetent FEC can safely ignore.

    Trump is crying about “The Apprentice” coming out with no sense of hypocrisy after the conservative court said it’s not an issue with the Citizens United ruling. What else would we expect?

    wait i thought all social media companies were conspiring against trump not with him

  9. They coordinated to stop hacked information when it hurt Trump, contrary to the precedent they set that allowed the use of hacked information for every other story before now, including Hillary’s stuff in the 2016 election.. Make no mistake, this is another changing of the rules to try tobenefit Trump’s loser ass.

  10. Will that weirdo Musk showing up at rallies and doing his weirdo dance help the orange weirdo?

    Well, in reality there was undoubtedly “coordination” with Fox News also. Revolving door coordination.

  12. At what point do the lenders that gave Musk the money to buy Twitter actually stop the bleeding and protect what is left of their dying collateral.

    Some would consider that election interference.
    Unintelligent people won’t though.

    Wait, were mad that a social media company worked to not help perpetuate a crime? Or are we supposed to be mad because it’s trump and then expect them to work not to release illegally obtained information if it’s someone we support? This is why I hate the right and the left. Neither side is healthy for the country.

    This should be the headline news story on every news outlet, along with all the election crimes Musk is committing right now, but of course this will just be a blip that the media doesn’t care about for some reason

  16. Jesus Christ. Cmon, america. At what point is a person just not allowed to run for the presidency of country? I mean what the fuck does it take?!
