Elon Musk’s X, formerly called Twitter, is one of the few outlets attempting to foster free speech, and a well-connected foreign leftist group has designated it a top target.
“Kill Musk’s Twitter” has been the top item written on the Center for Countering Digital Hate’s (CCDH’s) meeting agendas for months, according to internal documents publicly reported this week by reporters Paul D. Thacker and Matt Taibbi at The Disinformation Chronicle.
CCDH is a tax-exempt part of the global censorship-industrial complex that works to quell free speech, primarily through hiding facts that are inconvenient for leftists, such as that men and women are different and pharmaceuticals have side effects. It also has connections to the Kamala Harris campaign.
Not one to sit quietly, Musk responded Tuesday with a three-word post: “This is war.”
CCDH was founded by Imran Ahmed and Morgan McSweeney, both British Labour Party political strategists. In 2020, CCDH sought to strip Google ad revenue from The Federalist over editor John Daniel Davidson’s article, “The Media Are Lying To You About Everything, Including The Riots,” which calls out dishonest coverage of the 2020 George Floyd riots from legacy media including the New York Times and CNN.
McSweeney attended the Democrat National Convention and has been advising the Harris campaign. Imran has worked with U.S. media to create a narrative about Harris as a victim of mean social media posts, and his stories are picked up by friendly reporters.
McSweeney also founded Labour Together, a leftist U.K. think
