Musk owned Twitter for years of the Biden admin, at least one year of that was him openly simping for Trump.

So... what sort of threat was this, that suddenly disappeared when Musk bought it? How credible was the threat if Musk was able to release the Twitter Files without repercussions from the Biden admin?

The Twitter files happened before Elon. He stopped it once he got in.

And the implication of repercussions were for employees that were in charge of removing content. Not for the head honchos.

  • What were those repercussions? Besides just being fired for not doing what their employer wanted (indicating complicity from the company rather than pressure from the government)?
