Elon Musk, the richest person in the world and the new head of Twitter, published the first chapter of his "expose" titled "The Twitter Files" on Saturday. The Twitter Files part 1 shows the social media platform's internal communication with US President Joe Biden's campaign team during the 2020 US Elections. It was published by independent journalist Matt Taibbi.
Twitter Files Part 1
Internal Conflicts
Vijaya Gadde Played a 'Key Role'
Taibbi, the author of Twitter Files Part 1, made some bold claims against former policy head Vijaya Gadde. He claimed she was instrumental in the decision-making process. Ironically, Taibbi suggests that many decisions were made without the knowledge of then-CEO Jack Dorsey.
It was also revealed that the decision was made at the "highest levels of the company," but former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was not aware of it. Vijaya Gadde, Twitter's former head of legal, policy, and trust, also played a key role, according to Taibbi.
What was the Hunter Biden laptop story?
Hunter introduced Joe Biden to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm while he was vice president, according to the New York Post in 2020. Less than a year later, Biden pressed Ukrainian government officials to fire a prosecutor who was investigating the energy firm. Hunter Biden was also revealed to be on the company's board of directors, with a reported monthly salary of $50,000.
Twitter Files Part 2
Elon Musk has promised that this is only the beginning of a lengthy series. The second instalment of the Twitter Files will be released in the coming days. There's no way of knowing what's in the next section. Vijaya Gadde has yet to provide her side of the story.
