Elon Musk pulls in Matt Taibbi to help get out the details of the laptop and the Twitter files.

Elon Musk, who is also the CEO of electric automaker Tesla and rocket company SpaceX, spoke out on Saturday evening about the so-called “Twitter Files,” a long tweet thread posted by journalist Matt Taibbi, who had been provided with details about behind-the-scenes discussions on Twitter’s content moderation decision-making.

The original New York Post story was accurate all along

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO had previously said he didn’t know if The New York Post story about Biden’s laptop would have been suppressed if he hadn’t tweeted it. During his Twitter Spaces session, he insisted that he’d seen the post during a visit to the social media platform’s offices at 4 am, before the company plans for the 2020 elections were finalized. Musk also claimed that Google had been involved in discussions over bandwidth allocation on the site.
