You mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter_Files

These twitter files:

"After the first set of files was published, various technology and media journalists said that the reported evidence demonstrated little more than Twitter's policy team struggling with difficult decisions, but resolving such matters swiftly. Some conservatives said that the documents demonstrated what they called Twitter's liberal bias...

In June 2023, lawyers working for Twitter contested many of the claims made in the Twitter Files in court. According to CNN, 'the filing by Musk's own corporate lawyers represents a step-by-step refutation of some of the most explosive claims to come out of the Twitter Files and that in some cases have been promoted by Musk himself.'

The nothingburger Twitter Files?

Please don't comment like this here. HN is for curious conversation, not this kind belligerence. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

  Is the issue that I said he knew it was bullshit? Or is there a substantial issue with what the Twitter files were?

  The guidelines apply regardless of the topic or side, and our role is to uphold the guidelines, nothing more. We don't care (and often don't even know) what side or position you're arguing for. It's irrelevant, and we just don't even have time to get into it.
  The paragraph ”You can repeat that all you like. Wikipedia is bullshit on that and you know it.” is plainly not consistent with curious conversation.

Curious that Musk's/Twitter's lawyers also said the vast majority of the claims in the Twitter Files were unfounded.
What is your explanation for that?

  Why would I need to explain something I never brought up? I have no idea what musk said or what his claims are. How about you provide any citation? You brought up Musk as a strawman.
  You’ve multiple times claimed the Twitter files are a “nothing burger”…
  The truth is that there is concrete evidence of the Biden administration, pressuring media companies to sensor specific posts about Covid that they considered harmful to the narrative. Direct first amendment violations.
  You seem to not give any indication that you can have read Weiss or Taibbi’s articles.
  Jack Dorsey admitted it was true. So did Zuckerberg. Wild position you seem to have forced yourself into.
