Musk exposed constitutional law violations on the part of the [[United States Government]] to interfere in elections. While a private entity does not have to respect free speech, the [[First Amendment]] to the [[Constitution]] prohibits the United States Government from silencing the free speech. Twitter, under Jack Dorsey, prohibited free political speech at the behest of the United States Government.

On December 2, 2022 journalist Matt Taibbi of ''Rolling Stone'' magazine began releasing the #TwitterFiles, otherwise known as Twitter’s internal communications related to [[censorship]], targeting, and political interference. The perception of the public impact of the revelations was likened to the [[Stasi]] files when the [[Soviet Union]] collapsed and the [[Berlin Wall]] came down.
This initial document dump focused on the decision making process that Twitter invoked to suppress the [[Laptop from Hell]] in the run up to the 2020 Presidential election. The internal emails released show that Twitter was absolutely engaging in political manipulation and, after they suspended the ''New York Post'', the oldest newspaper in the United States, looking for some sort of policy justification for their political actions.
According to Taibbi, "The problem with the ‘hacked materials’ ruling, several sources said, was that this normally required an official/law enforcement finding of a hack. But such a finding never appears throughout what one executive describes as a ‘whirlwind’ 24-hour, company-wide mess.”
In one incredible exchange, Twitter execs receive a list of accounts from the [[Biden Administration]] to “review.” The accounts were reportedly later suspended. Democrat Rep. [[Ro Khanna]] was the only Democrat that expressed concern, trying to mediate with Twitter execs and reminding them the First Amendment prohibits government suppression of free speech. The Twitter files reveal [[collusion]] between government and [[private sector]] business to suppress [[human rights]], which is the original and basic definition of [[fascism]].
