Twitter’s former CEO, Jack Dorsey, has recommended that the new CEO and owner, Elon Musk, make “all the ‘Twitter files’ public.” The recommendation follows Elon’s firing of Twitter’s Deputy General Counsel James Baker, reportedly for his role in suppressing information relating to the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Musk continues to drip additional “Twitter files.” According to Fox News, the new files “purport to show how the company worked to censor certain speech,” validating the claims of many conservatives.
On Wednesday, Dorsey publicly recommended that Musk release all internal documents “at once” and “without filter.”
The Western Journal noted that Dorsey’s recommendation is “the most recent evidence that there is something yet to be uncovered.”
Dorsey argued: “If the goal is transparency to build trust, why not just release everything without filter and let people judge for themselves? Including all discussions around current and future actions? Make everything public now.”
Musk has kept a line of communication open with Dorsey throughout his on-again, off-again bid to take over the company.
Weeks ago, Musk contracted with Substack journalist Matt Taibbi to review internal documents and search for indications the platform actively censored information to impact the outcome of the 2020 election.
Taibbi published his findings last Friday, initiating a firestorm as the so-called “Twitter files” indicate the platform suppressed information relating to the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
The Twitter files also revealed that Baker, the former general counsel for the FBI and a key figure in the Trump Russiagate investigation, “advised Twitter executives to proceed with the assumption the New York Post broke Twitter rules, even though there was no evidence they had done so,” according to the Fox report.
“I support the conclusion that we need more facts to assess whether the materials were hacked,” Baker wrote in an email. “At this stage, however, it’s reasonable for us to assume that they may have been and that caution is warranted.”
Baker’s email was in response to a Twitter executive questioning whether they could “truthfully claim” that the laptop story was rightfully suppressed under the company’s policy of “hacked information.”
It was also disclosed that Baker “vetted” Taibbi’s report before it was published, without Elon’s knowledge or consent.
On Tuesday, Musk announced that Baker was “exited” from the company “in light of concerns about Baker’s possible role in the suppression of information important to the public dialogue.”
