On Friday, President Donald Trump gave Elon Musk kudos for exposing the left-wing censorship that was present at Twitter for so long. However, he wants Elon to release more info, specifically around the conversations leading up to the 2020 election and his specific de-platforming.
“ELON: The Twitter releases are a revelation in that they show, in a very powerful fashion, the FBI and “Justice” illegally colluding, proving conclusively, in one more very powerful way, that the 2020 Presidential Election was Rigged & Stolen,” Trump began.
“What everyone is REALLY waiting to see, however, is the Twitter information and thought process leading up to the time of the so-called “Election,” and ultimately the “Deplatforming” of the President of the United States. Big moment in history. Thank you!,” he concluded.

Yesterday evening, “Part 2” of the Twitter files dropped, showing how prominent conservatives were put on “Do Not Amplify” lists.
For example, Dan Bongino was targeted specifically as he was given a “Search Block” on his account:

And as we alluded to above, TP USA’s Charlie Kirk was given a “Do Not Amplify” tag even though he had “ZERO” strikes:

In case you missed it, Charlie Kirk went on Tucker Carlson’s show last night to discuss the censorship.
‘I was called a conspiracy theorist, I was smeared … Now you see actual verified documents where my Twitter account was labeled as do not amplify, NSFW – which I can only infer means not safe for work?’ Kirk said.
‘They’re treating my twitter account with more scrutiny and censorship than the prime minister of Iran, than Hamas, than people who do actual terroristic type damage,’ the TPUSA founder went on to say.
‘Now we evidence to show that’s exactly why my Twitter account the last couple years has been down 95 percent in engagement … They saw what I had to say as a direct threat to the regime … Was my tweet somehow able to create viral counter messaging in to what they wanted to see happen in 2020. We may never know … But Twitter at its best, when it was really something that was worthy of appreciation, and I hope it gets there soon, was a place where heterodox ideas where able to spread instantaneously with virility and hold powerful people accountable … I happened to have one of those accounts for years, and Twitter went out of their way to censor it and suffocate our account,’ Kirk said in his rant to Carlson.
Despite Twitter’s decisions to censor conservative influencers, Kirk told Tucker Carlson that the former founder and CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, went as far as to personally assure him that his account was not being censored in any possible way, shape, or form. He followed those comments up by saying that he didn’t believe that the company ‘really cared’ when telling him those assurances and not responding after.
Kirk went on to give Musk the credit for the recent transparency and restoration of the platform’s prominence.
