Trump campaign worked with Musk and company to keep damaging info off Twitter
The New York Times reports that Twitter co-ordinated with the Trump Campaign to ensure that damaging information about GOP vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance was kept off the platform. It disclosed this fact somewhere within a floaty piece about Elon Musk's massive financial donations to Trump's campaign, and so we go instead to The Guardian for context:
The former president's team contacted X, owned by the billionaire Trump backer Elon Musk, about a 271-page document compiled by his campaign to vet his running mate … X responded by blocking links to the material, claiming that it contained sensitive personal information such as the Ohio US senator's social security number, and banned Klippenstein from the platform.
