More Twitter files to merge, and they show an organization run by political hacks with peculiarly

disturbing perspectives. Anthony Fauci writes his own valedictory and a Washington Post columnist tells

Well, Elon Musk's quest to unmask what happened at Twitter before he took over continues a pace.

And it is fascinating.

Over the weekend, he revealed two more trenches of Twitter files.

One via Matt Taibi, the former Rolling Stone journalist, the other via Michael Schellenberger, the former Democrat who has been disillusioned with a lot of the sort of extremist global warming talk. The thread from Matt Taibi really sets the stage for the thread from Schellenberger. And I have to say, the rollout of this stuff, just from a PR angle, is very, very smart. They're rolling it out on Twitter, which is where most of the coverage is going to be. Not only are they doing it that way, they're also doing it serially,

which means the people are really keeping an eye as more headlines emerge about how Twitter

was run. So the first thread from Matt Taibi is about the removal of Donald Trump,

circa October 2020 to January 6th. The idea is that the preconditions for removing Trump

were set from October 2020 to January 6th. And what they show is ad hoc decision making at the

highest level of Twitter outside of Jack Dorsey. Jack Dorsey was off doing what he does,

like hanging out with malaria-ridden mosquitoes in a Malaysian cave or something. And the

rest of the Twitter infrastructure was basically playing

while Dorsey was gone. They were deciding who should stay, who should go. They were using

their own political predilections to decide what sort of material was worthy of being seen.

And they set all of these preconditions in spite of the fact that they knew that there was no

actual hardcore policy that was being defined by Twitter. They knew that there was no actual standard that was being set by Twitter. Instead, they just basically decided, here's the thing I don't like. How do I cram this square peg into the round hole of Twitter policy? So here is what Matt Taibi says. Again, this is covering the period October 2020 to January 6th just before Donald Trump was banned from Twitter. And all of this is really important, not just because of what Twitter was during the election of 2020, although that's

important, obviously, but because this is how big tech is run. And for so many of us who get our
