Timcast IRL #669 Elon Musk LEAKS PROOF Democrats Colluded With Twitter To Win 2020 w/Jesse Kelly
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 669, recorded on December 3, 2022, centered on the breaking news of journalist Matt Taibbi releasing internal Twitter documents revealing extensive collaboration between Democrats and Twitter executives to censor information during the 2020 election. Tim Pool and co-hosts discussed how the documents showed the Biden campaign and Democrats had direct lines to Twitter for removing content, particularly regarding the Hunter Biden laptop story. Jesse Kelly joined the discussion, noting that internal pushback was surprisingly minimal and emphasizing how bad actors simply need to secure key gatekeeping positions rather than control everything directly. The conversation covered specific incidents like Kayleigh McEnany's account being locked for posting about Hunter Biden, and how Twitter's overwhelmingly left-leaning workforce created imbalanced content moderation systems. Luke Rudowsky, Ian Crossland, and Serge also participated, with the panel examining the implications of these revelations for free speech and election integrity.

“I'm shocked there was any pushback at all internally from Twitter because you can see there are some Jack Dorsey didn't even know right he didn't even know and their employees pushing back.
