I always thought Trump was just being a sore loser when saying the election was rigged...

But in musks latest release of information from the Twitter files theres evidence and conversations that might lend some credibility to that

There is hard evidence that Twitter was working in cooperation with the fbi to heavily influence the narrative of the election at least.
Its reasonable to assume other big tech were doing the same with everything else we know

Influencing is different than rigging.

But yes, some of this stuff is pretty crazy if it's true.

Its not really an "if its true" situation. These aren't opinions. These are actual conversations that are coming to light.

Elon's Twitter is saying here is what happened. And allowing every citizen to form their own opinion based on the evidence

You're saying that Trump's FBI rigged things to help Biden?
Despite Taibbi specifically saying that didn't happen?

Trump had a lot of enemies within the intelligence agencies. Cia fbi etc. He fired a lot of people. His whole "drain the swamp" motto didn't sit too well with "the swamp"

Trump made enemies on both sides. He wasn't one of them, wasn't one of the career politicians. He had his flaws and his ego got in the way, and his personality certainly wasn't politically correct. But trying to take on the "deep state" of career politicians an intelligence agencies (the real slime of the system of corruption within our government) is what ultimately led to his defeat in reelection.

They knew they HAD to get him out. He had lowered taxes. Denied them raises (they already get 6 figures plus lobbyist money) and had actually exposed some of them for what they were

So we saw the all out collision campaign with big tech companies being forced to take a side in election. Big tech is where Americans actively get their news and information updates, and when they are all actively working for one side and against the other you have a very bad situation.

They used situations like covid and racial tensions/blm and flooded the media with it. Those situations were hyped to big the biggest problems in America which they then attempted to blame on Trump, and sold biden as the answer to those problems

And before even of you start saying im a Trumper don't, I don't want him to run for reelection. Big tech collusion has brainwashed our country into seeing his name as being so toxic that him getting the republican nomination would be bad bad news for this country and inevitably get us onto a Civil War. There are better answers out there

Just because a Trump or biden or Obama or anyone is the active president, doesn't mean the people within an agency for their career or big supporters of theirs

Go back and revisit that year leading into the election. And Biden's campaign promises

I dont find it odd that Biden beat Trump....I think anyone with a pulse would've beat Trump at that point.

I do find it odd that Biden won the democratic nomination after being essentially dead in the water. Something dramatic happened within the party and shot him to the top.

What’s ironic is that big tech is largely responsible for you not knowing what you’re talking about.

Social networks are made to gather data and make money. The goal is to keep you on their platform.

Whether or not Biden was the answer or didn’t deliver on campaign promises doesn’t change the fact that there isn’t a government led political agenda within big tech.

If this was the case, no Republican/Democrat would be on Twitter or Facebook.

You get served stuff that keeps you there.

Imagine searching in google for more information about a tweet you read that said government controls big tech and then posting it on Facebook.

you guys just aren’t big enough free thinkers
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
