Summary

Twitter is welcoming back some of its advertisers in the wake of the ‘Twitter files.’ Reports detail Twitter’s decision to censor a New York Post article on Hunter Biden ahead of the 2020 presidential elections, although CNBC has not seen or verified those reports. Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO and national director of the Anti-Defamation League, discusses the Twitter files, Elon Musk’s leadership at the platform, and how leaders can maintain a town square without discrimination. CNBC’s Brian Sullivan reports on the OPEC+ decision not to change oil production targets and the EU’s price cap on Russian oil. Chinese cities are signaling a slight easing in Covid policy. Local state media reports some people who tested positive for Covid-19 in Beijing might now be allowed to quarantine at home instead of being sent to a centralized facility. Plus, CNBC’s Sharon Epperson reports on the office parties staging a comeback this holiday season. In this episode: Jonathan Greenblatt, @JGreenblattADL Sharon Epperson, @Sharon_Epperson Brian Sullivan, @SullyCNBC Becky Quick @BeckyQuick Joe Kernen, @JoeSquawk Andrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkin Cameron Costa, @CameronCostaNY
