What do you mean? The alt right, QAnoners, election deniers, hate-speech fans, Trump cultists, right-wing conspiracy theorists all adore him. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

The problem is that bots/trolls will buy their unverified verification & flood verified feeds, making these feeds less usable and enjoyable. This will degrade the user experience of non-trolls/non-bots. Unless @elonmusk thinks there’s money in a rightwing site, where’s the gain? — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

Good point. A guy tries to overturn a free and fair election and incites violence to block the peaceful transfer of power…and then a private firm decides he’s not allowed to tweet. Poor baby. Let’s make Twitter the villain here. #Musksplaining is ridiculous. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

The implication of this thread is that all content moderation decisions now made by @elonmusk and his team ought to be disclosed and all internal communications about them made public. And I'm fine with that. These can be fascinating & enlightening debates. Yes, Elon? — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

For decades, the right has claimed the media was biased against them and played the ref over and over, whether true or not. They switched that strategy to social media. Heck, look at the most popular FB posts each day. Usually more conservative than liberal. It's what they do. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

All going according to plan, right? https://t.co/KRkcA0CJmD — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

I concur. Whether Trump should have been banned or not for his Big Lies and election disinformation, at a moment when his own veep was in physical jeopardy, he posted a tweet that certainly endangered Pence further. Sure seems that a private company is entitled to say no to that. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

Don't you mean enlightening and infoirming? — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

Has @elonmusk ever voiced concern over the Trump/GOP efforts to overturn the 2020 election, his incitement of violence that led to 1/6, his antisemitic messaging, his endorsement of QAnon, his dinner w/ a Nazi, his call to terminate the Constitution? Just asking. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m old enough to remember when Donald Trump called for the “termination” of the US Constitution. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

The non-acceptance of well-established facts is denialism. This is a good example. Cite a *bipartisan* investigation confirmed by other sources & the response is a dismissive insult. That shows a lack of seriousness & knowledge. Thanks for playing—and for helping Putin and Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

I don’t think you did. Then you would know this bipartisan investigation found Russia intervened, Trump helped the attack by denying it, Manafort met w/ Russian intel officer. None of this had anything to do with HRC/Steele memos. Trump aided/abetted Putin’s op. Keep deflecting. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

Have you read the *bipartisan* Senate intelligence committee report on the Russian attack on the 2016 election AND Trump campaign interactions with Russia? If not, you’re not serious and you literally don’t know what you’re talking about. — PolitiTweet.org

Kavanaugh chillin’ with leading election deniers and top supporters of a man who incited political violence and who has called for the “termination” of the US Constitution. Nothing to see. Just move along. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s the context for the #TwitterFilesFail that @elonmusk and Taibbi do not want you to know. They are trying to rig the story. https://t.co/tEaxGHMmc9 — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

Cavalier, irresponsible, and dangerous. He amplifies QAnon nuttery and alt-right conspiracism. Very Trump-like. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

That’s the issue. @elonmusk won’t release the full files for public inspection. He’s spoon-feeding to a known Trump-Russia denialist who cannot be trusted. #TwitterFilesFail. — PolitiTweet.org
