Elon Musk hyped the release of bombshell revelations Friday about Twitter’s controversial decision to restrict stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop on the platform, but the leak was a resounding flop with many right-wing pundits
Responding to a Truth Social user claiming the Twitter company emails were “a clear violation of the 1st Amendment,” the radio host fired back: “Err no, it’s not the DNC asking a private company to censor has nothing to do with the First Amendment.”
The back and forth ended with Truth Social users accusing Gorka of being “deep state.” (The radio host failed to address questions on the matter sent to him by The Daily Beast on Friday night.)
Likewise, New York Post columnist Miranda Devine—one of the first right-wing reporters to begin writing about the laptop—told Fox News host Tucker Carlson it wasn’t the “smoking gun we’d hoped for.”
What followed after was a series of tweeted snippets detailing what the public has known
Elon Musk’s Big ‘Twitter Files’ Reveal Turns Into Snoozefest
Earlier this week, Elon Musk teased the release, tweeting, "The public deserves to know what really happened …"
Responses online amounted to a collective yawn.
“Nice to land and read Twitter files only to find out there aren’t any(?),” one former Twitter employee quipped to Rolling Stone

@ecksmc ooooWHEE.. birdturd site is knee deep in this crap now.. from the Bulwark:
@ecksmc The Democratic secret plot “Operation Let Them Speak” is working wonderfully
downside to secret plots they never work
being open and honest will go further than secret plots
@ecksmc it was sarcasm
“I feel that Elon Musk has held back some material,” she then alleged, claiming sinister forces were controlling Musk
Farright Twitter rival Gab went a step further by attacking Musk. “Elon dropped this total nothingburger Hunter Biden story, which revealed nothing new whatsoever beyond what we have all known for years now,” the company wrote on Telegram, “to distract from the fact that he suspended the biggest cultural superstar of a generation for going on a podcast to say he loves everyone.”
