The '''Twitter Files''' were released in December 2022 by [[Twitter]] CEO [[Elon Musk]] shortly after Musk's purchase of the company, exposing constitutional law violations on the part of the [[United States Government]] to interfere in elections. Musk declared Twitter offices a "crime scene". While a private entity does not have to respect free speech, the [[First Amendment]] to the [[Constitution]] prohibits the United States Government from silencing free speech.  Twitter, under Jack Dorsey, prohibited free political speech at the behest of the United States Government.
