The next several months are going to be incredibly interesting…
Biden’s administration has already indicated that Twitter is being probed—they’re paying extra special attention to the social media platform ever since Musk took over.
America’s most eccentric billionaire has already indicated that he will release Twitter’s censorship files on the platform itself, could this be the reason they are so afraid?
Collusion between the state and big tech platforms is nothing new to anyone reading this; however, huge portions of the population are either ignorant as to the extent of the collusion, or they’re just naive.
Aside from the blatant censorship, there is a more insidious form of manipulation taking place through Twitter and all the other social media platforms…
I am talking about psy-ops or 5th generational warfare—the usage of automated or spam accounts to create the illusion of support and manufacture consent among the populace.
Musk recently tweeted several times on the topic:
The amount of pro psy ops on Twitter is ridiculous! At least with new Verified they will pay $8 for the privilege haha.

According to The Epoch Times:
Musk later qualified his statement, responding to a Twitter user’s comment that the psychological operations are “mid”-level rather than professional. Musk conceded that “it’s mostly basic.”
While it’s not clear what, specifically, Musk was referring to in his post on the prevalence of “pro psy ops,” Twitter has, in the past, struggled to deal with foreign state-linked information operations on the platform, including activity it has deemed malicious.

Fox News recently produced this extremely telling piece:
CIA analyst Bob Baer claimed that “Putin is going to be all over Twitter” thanks to billionaire owner Elon Musk’s policies for running the company.
He also stated that the “voice of the people” Musk claimed wants free speech is “Russian intelligence” looking to undermine American support for Ukraine.
During a recent segment on CNN, the analyst argued that Musk’s pro-free speech attitude towards operating the company, particularly in the way he has decided to reinstate banned accounts and not suspend users for any speech, means Russian hackers will benefit.
