One is certainly more visibly political while the other is much harder to see. Seems like even you are confused by it.

So, you do see a difference. Meanwhile, you still ignore the difference in being a public vs. private company and the necessary disclosures that come from that difference.

That said, please open my eyes. I have yet to see you provide anything to support your stance that the publicly-traded, pre-Elon version of Twitter was equally as active in pushing a political agenda as the current version.

It's ok to admit, even if the guy is on your team.

The recovered documents that showed communication between the whitehouse and twitter resulting in censorship around covid and other issues like the laptop from hunter biden. It was political, hidden and many will say eviler before Musk.

I assume you are referring to the documents released by Elon Musk, the person mentioned in this thread who is overtly political. I think he's proven that he isn't a reliable narrator on these topics via his public comments.

Just to be safe, we have the reporting which proves that there were many censorship requests from the Trump Administration and other Republican officeholders like Kevin McCarthy and Elise Stefanik. [0]

===Elon Musk's "Twitter Files" focus on Democrats, but former administration officials and Twitter employees say Trump’s team and other Republicans routinely demanded posts be taken down===

Why do you think Elon chose not to release this information in the "recovered documents"? In my view, it is further proof that he has turned Twitter into an overtly political machine. Prior to him, both sides played a game of trying to pressure Twitter to serve their purposes. Now, Twitter openly serves the purposes of one side of the aisle over the other.

You might agree with that side's opinion, but it doesn't change how he has made the platform itself political and actively hidden the political actions of people on his side. Sounds pretty evil to me.
