Elon Musk tweeted Monday that the files “on free speech suppression” would soon be published on Twitter. This tweet has created a buzz around the site, especially regarding the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story. Some are ready for the release while others, mostly leftists, are claiming the release, and Musk’s claim that Twitter would allow free speech on the platform would be bad for the public. There have been a few posts on Musk’s Twitter account that have pertained to free speech and the files regarding events in 2020.
According to The Post Millennial:
On Wednesday, Elon Musk promised that he would make public the behind-the-scenes conversations at Twitter in 2020 regarding the social media giant’s decision to censor the New York Post’s bombshell report on the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, material that has been verified by establishment media in recent weeks.
Twitter user ALX wrote, “Raise your hand if you think @ElonMusk should make public all internal discussions about the decision to censor the @NYPost’s story on Hunter Biden’s laptop before the 2020 Election in the interest of Transparency.” Musk replied, “This is necessary to restore public trust.”
This is necessary to restore public trust

In one, Musk tweeted Monday,
The Twitter Files on free speech suppression soon to be published on Twitter itself. The public deserves to know what really happened …

Then only about four hours later Musk twitted out,
This is a battle for the future of civilization. If free speech is lost even in America, tyranny is all that lies ahead.

Many leftist media outlets and companies claim that releasing these files and allowing free speech may do more harm than keeping things as is. Apple has removed their tweets from Twitter only followed by claims that the company has threatened to remove Twitter from the app store. CNN also released a tweet on the situation saying:

While the future of Twitter and the free speech file release are unknown, this story will be updated following any further news.
