Twitter CEO Elon Musk alleged this morning that the FBI and the government paid other social media companies to censor information.
Musk’s tweet comes a day after #TwitterFiles7 revealed the FBI paid Twitter $3 billion to censor information from the public.
Musk has not elaborated.
Independent journalist Michael Shellenberger released the latest Twitter Files, which mostly covered the FBI and Hunter Biden’s laptop.
But buried in the dump, Shellenberger posted an email from an unnamed Twitter employee telling then-deputy general counsel Jim Baker and then-general counsel Sean Edgett the company got over $3 million from the FBI.
The program to take reimbursement from the FBI in 2019.
“Prior to the start of the program, Twitter chose not to collect under this statutory right of reimbursement for the time processing requests from the FBI,” wrote the employee.
Um, so this has been going on for a long time.
