Twitter CEO Elon Musk renewed his attack on his company's previous leadership on Friday by touting what he described as proof of their "Hunter Biden story suppression."
In fact, the alleged proof was the work of an independent journalist who had access to internal Twitter emails showing the debate inside the company over restricting a New York Post article in 2020 about the contents of a laptop belonging to the son of then-presidential candidate Joe Biden. Twitter initially restricted users' access to that article, which fueled claims by Republicans that the company was trying to suppress damaging information about the Bidens ahead of the election.
