It would definitely be in the public interest to see how Twitter discussed this issue. Like Robby says, you can redact the names. Them saying they regret it now is not all that matters. If it was written as an “this will help our team” that is relevant. That is different than just being concerned it’s misinformation. It is not just about humiliating. It is about understanding how exactly these decisions are made and what the motives are.
Also does Batya have an iPhone? Does she know about Apple’s relationship with China? Or even Google’s. I agree that Elon’s relationship with China is something to be weary of…but so is Apple’s/Tim Cook’s.
I don't think it's true that Conservatives have no interest in e-cars or preserving our environment. We are just suspicious of those who want to use it as an excuse to push Agenda 30 or similarly take away our rights and we don't agree that we have to drastically wreck our economy to support the goal of environmental balance.
who is this lady? Like there's nothing to uncover about suppressing a major news story. Admit it, and move on. Don't worry about how it happened, who was involved, how egregious it was…none of that matters. It's all to embarrass people. Seriously, this is not a journalist. And you're actually going to sit there and say that Musk is beholden to the Chinese communist party, but you're not worried that Apple or Google info, and info from every major website isn't being shared and tracked?? Paaalease.
Who cares if leftists feel like they won’t get a fair shake. Dbag. They were doing it to us for years. Welcome to the party.
So the customers of Apple/Goodge aren’t going to care if they drop the app?
It's funny how these two are more concerned and defend the Twotter employees that censored and acted like a propaganda machine… while totally ignoring the fact the FBI actively lied, censored and worked hard to subvert the president of the US and make him lose the election which in any country would be considered a cue
We knew "they" would come after him.
What a SCARED and horrendous take by her. Wow.
ALL OF APPLE'S PHONES ARE PRODUCED IN CHINA…
Apple is as beholden to China as Tesla or many others are..
Apple would lose ALL of its profits (or skyrocket its prices) if it brought manufacturing from China to the US.
What was the point of making Tesla/Musk the China-risk, rather than Apple??
Tesla is better in Batteries than all phones combined. Tesla phone powered batteries merge with Google. cool ❤
Elon loves triggering and trolling the Libs so I doubt he would censor them or chase them off Twitter. The interactions between left and right are essential for the business.
I'd buy a Tesla phone if they made a gas/electric hybrid.
Disagree with Batya on Hunter info. It would be in public interest to have factual info on censorship by big tech and those that were in power to affect those decisions. Both internal, and external (feds) pressuring for it.
I will buy any competitor to Apple-Samsung duopoly if they protect data better
Betya is spreading lots of misinformations and lies i think she should be banned from youtube!!!!
It is in the public interest because it will prove that the Government has been using social media apps as a proxy, to quell free speech. And THAT is against the Constitution. How do you not see that Batya?
Knowing the extent of how and to what we are being censored isn't in the public interest? Twitter is the new public square.
Does she know that Apple iPhone are made in China?
Wow Batya, didn’t think the “nothing to see here” line would come from you.
Saying it is a .mistake is not enough accountability.. they k ew what they were doing and possible ramifications. The emails to be released may not be too personal as you suggest. They were business emails. Maybe this is warning for ppl making these decisions to be more professional rather than let their personal views take precedence esp when political. Arguing "personal" is not valid either way.
Not too smart, are we Batya? Or is it something more? Assigning bad motives to Elon seems somehow disingenuous here. What are HER motives, I wonder.
Muskileaks?
What happened to Batya on this issue? I know she's a liberal, but on certain issues she seemed to be fair-minded. I definitely want to see the "behind the scenes" discussion of the Hunter Biden laptop story at Twitter. Let's see if the powers that be at Twitter purposely buried the story, not because they thought it was "Russian disinformation", but because they knew it would have hurt Biden in the 2020 election and used the supposed Russia connection as an excuse not to distribute the story on their site.
We ARE NOT all on the same page. May media outlets and leftist politicians still DENY that there is concerted censorship, or the proven relationship between the government and big tech in silencing dissenting opinions. You average American is not aware of this collusion. Its amazing that Batya pretends this is all just water under the bridge. LET ELON pull up the carpet to show the cockroaches where they stand.
Batya, how did you decide what is best for the public interest? What negative impact will it have? It seems you have superior knowledge and ability to decide on taxpayers behalf.
Batya, true journalism is after the truth. It is for the public interest to know what gov agency did and how they operated. Now, it feels your position is somehow aligned with MSM
Apple already sold out our information to China.
I think Musk should just go ahead and produce a phone. I’d buy one
They criticize Twitter when Musk let’s people speak. Yet complained about Twitter before.
I love how she is like no he shouldn’t release the backlogs of what happened with Hunters laptop story.
She sounds like a real journalist today. Keep everything hidden nothing to see here. Hillary 2024 😂😂
A phone based on Star Link satellites it’s a great idea. Tesla phone would be game changer. Time to advance past Apple Tech
If it is a company email account, it is not a private communication.
Why not just get the app outside the play stores.Theres literaly 1000s of other places for Android
Who gives an f if he exposes rich tyrannical executives????
Good! We need transparency again in this country.
yOu are very wrong Batya
thatd work. plenty of brands have phones, and they are essentially android. & also fxxxk app store banning apps & locking the battery & refusing repair. _JC
1:30 why conservatives? free speech is all of us, or LEFT. & as if all our phones and apps…oh, im sure you know. _JC
Batya has good points about Elons relationship with the CCP, though Apple is openly colluding with them by making an iOS just for the CCP to further oppress their people.
Sorry, Batya, but scumbags like Yoel Roth should be exposed.
If you have tic toc on your devices, you already gave the ccp all your information. ALL OF IT!
You guys are missing the point. It is not only conservatives who are backing Elon. The left of the left is backing Elon.
You guys are making a dichotomy of with the DNC or against them, but there is more to it.
