Twitter Files: Staffers felt Trump did not violate ‘incitement’ policy

Elon Musk promises more files soon regarding Twitter’s handling of Covid-19.

Before Elon Musk bought Twitter it was apparently filled with people who were willing to target Americans for their beliefs—and it went all the way to the top.

The latest revelations expose executives having conversations about changing the platform to go after one single person: Donald J. Trump.

Among the revelations, behind the scenes conversations on what led to then-President Trump being banned by Twitter.

Released on Monday, the fifth installment of Musk’s “Twitter Files” shows that staffers believed written tweets by former President Trump about Jan. 6 did not actually violate its policies, despite the company publicly saying so.

According to the Twitter document dump, Twitter execs worked behind the scenes to further restrict speech and lay the foundation to eventually and permanently ban President Trump

According to reports of internal communication: one staffer wrote in a group message, “I think we’d have a hard time saying this is incitement,” wrote one official. “It’s pretty clear he’s saying the ‘American Patriots’ are the ones who voted for him and not the terrorists (we can call them that, right?) from [Jan. 6].”:

“Don’t see the incitement angle here,” a second monitor agreed, while policy official Annika Navroli concurred: “I also am not seeing clear or coded incitement in the DJT tweet.”
“I’ll respond in the elections channel and say that our team has assessed and found no [violations] for the DJT one.”

Now, a key Republican lawmaker, Michael Waltz of Florida is calling for the new Congress to do something.

“The laws haven’t been updated since the 90s. They absolutely have to be. Antitrust I know it’s controversial, but you are going to see major action in this next Congress we’ve got to clean this up.”

On Dec. 2, the Twitter Files began with revelations of internal efforts to suppress the New York Post’s Hunter Biden story in 2020 and now, Musk is promising to release more details on how Twitter handled Covid-19.

Musk’s unconventional management style hasn’t slowed investor enthusiasm, even amidst regulatory hurdles. The funds raised could also support groundbreaking innovations, including energy-efficient space data centers.

Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI for AI-generated videos featuring iconic characters, enhancing fan interactions and launching in 2026.

Disney is taking AI to the next level, investing $1 billion in OpenAI to create a licensing deal that allows users to generate videos featuring more than 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. This partnership could redefine how fans interact with their favorite characters.

The deal will let users stream short AI-generated videos directly on Disney+, and ChatGPT will also produce images of Disney’s licensed characters. However, the agreement excludes talent likenesses or voices, keeping human performances separate.

Set to launch in 2026, the collaboration also gives Disney warrants to purchase additional OpenAI equity and use AI tools for product development, opening doors to new creative opportunities.
