The Twitter Files are a set of internal Twitter, Inc. documents that were made public, starting in December 2022, by CEO Elon Musk, journalists Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss, Lee Fang, and authors Michael Shellenberger, David Zweig and Alex Berenson shortly after Musk acquired Twitter on October 27, 2022. Taibbi and Weiss coordinated the release of the documents with Twitter management, releasing the details of the files as a series of Twitter threads.[1][2][3][4]
