I think Elon literally hiring a Russian sex criminal to release his news for him is a considerably more notable thing than an ad hominem attack! It’s not like he was the most natural choice. (Not intended as an ad hominem on Elon, who has more than enough problems. Literally I don’t know why he did it.)

He could’ve just had Bari Weiss release everything. (Weiss has, in the meantime, been unfollowed and presumably fired as Elon’s journalist because she tried to mildly criticize him once.)

There are a group of people releasing the Twitter Files. Are we going to name call them all as sex criminals? Were any even found to be guilty by a court or are you simply applying dirty tricks? And how is that relevant to the truth of the content? Are you going to respond to me telling me that at the root of this is Hunter Biden's penis?

No, only Taibbi is. I think there’s a third guy but can’t say I know anything about him.

But this is something in the real world, not a logic puzzle, and unfortunately in the real world you actually do need to consider the context of everything using all available information. I mean, you going “this guy is just coincidentally a sex offender” is not the common man on the street’s response, and most journalists are literally not sex offenders.

I don’t know what Elon is doing. He’s of course extremely compromised by multiple governments, I mean he owns SpaceX and a Chinese Tesla factory, and Saudi Arabia (who’s planted spies at Twitter before) is a major investor now. I also suspect Elon doesn’t know what he’s doing, though.

I think you should apply the same criticism and context to your own posts, which literally consist of trying to link information to sex crime in order to attempt to change the conversation.

You have effectively moved the conversation from 'the FBI requesting removal of illegal content' is completely different from'the FBI is acting to enforce censorship of protected speech with twitters willing compliance' to 'is the journalist being an alleged sex criminal relevant'. So lets all stop that line and go back to 'regardless of anyone's past activity raping peoples, you are wrong.' Retort?

I did some additional research into this Taibbi person, and in addition to being a Russian sex criminal, it turns out he's done some work as a journalist. I think that might have something to do with why Elon chose him to release the news.

I promise in the real world it is perfectly sensible to not trust a person on any topic if that person is a Russian sex criminal. Journalists interpret events and are not beep-boop robots printing out emotionless lists of facts. You can find a different journalist!
