Elon Musk Targets the FBI as 'Twitter Files' Saga Continues

The FBI came under fire Friday after the latest "Twitter Files" report featured emails from the bureau regarding election misinformation shared on the platform.

Twitter CEO Elon Musk has led the release of a stockpile of internal Twitter employees' emails and other forms of company communication in an effort to be more transparent about the platform's past decisions on monitoring content that goes against its policies.

In "part six" of the internal company review posted by journalist Matt Taibbi, past company emails revealed occasions when federal law enforcement alerted Twitter employees of accounts it believed to be in violation of the platform's rules for disseminating false election information.

One example was from an email sent by the FBI's National Election Command Post on November 5, which included 25 accounts that the department said "may warrant additional action due to the accounts being utilized to spread misinformation" regarding the 2022 midterm elections.
