The target audience for the files seem to be right wing Americans, and I'm neither of them so haven't paid much attention.

But they seem to be a bunch of half-truths, only releasing information that Musk wants. @jack asked Elon to release all his email yet that wasn't done, so it's very possible there's a lot that either contradicts and/or puts in context that goes against the narrative the files are trying to push.

Just curious, how did you determine the released data is "a bunch of half-truths"? Do you have access to more complete data sets which contradict what we've seen? Why are you keeping this additional data private if so?

I would think the "half-truths" refer to the difference between the content in the twitter files vs taibbi's and weiss's reporting of it. The FBI emailed twitter safety to report violations of twitter's own terms of service. It's not clear twitter actually did anything with those reports. But to read taibbi and weiss, it was as if the FBI threatened twitter to ban nypost because of the hunter biden laptop article, which never happened.

Half-truths in that it's only part of the truth. They haven't published all internal Twitter files have they? Like I said they haven't even published a previous CEOs email, despite him asking them to.
