The Tesla CEO then went on to share the tweets, relishing the recent revelation. Taibbi’s tweet threads involved numerous allegations, that involved Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, the FBI, and even the US Presidential Elections of 2020. The revelations by the journalist made many heads turn.

In the third part of the Twitter files, Taibbi claimed that the foundation to deplatform or ban former US President Donald Trump was laid way before he was banned for making explosive tweets following the January 6, capital attack. The allegations made by part three of the Twitter filed left netizens in complete shock. Following the release of the new threads, the Tesla CEO wrote, “Do I think Trump would have lost anyway? Yes. And, as a reminder, I supported Biden, Hilary and Obama. Nonetheless, election interference by social media companies obviously undermines the public’s faith in democracy and is wrong”. Hence, the cryptic message shared by the Tesla CEO also seemed like a dig at the recent revelations of this ordeal. On Sunday, Musk even went on to share part 4 of the Twitter files which continued the saga of de-platforming former president Donald Trump.
