I'm including four pages that debunk the bulk of Elon Musk/GQP's claims.
Please read/tweet and help stop the spread of this disinformation campaign that clearly stated as Russian election interference.
I'm not looking for likes, etc -- my sole objective is to counter Elon's attempt to profit by dividing Americans.
This Russian disinfo campaign has gone on so long, without anyone ever investing the time to research the evidence. I'd like to do my part combatting the lies.
--- Update ---
Some responses requested that I provide a copy of Elon's "Twitter Files". I've combined all of the scattered points 1-36, removed the Twitter garbage in-between (likes/avatars/etc) and combined into a single PDF file. I've uploaded to Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iLkT0cQVCkxVjYVq96l0vSFO9jb36-VK/view?usp=share_link
I also added six section headings to make navigation easier.
Please note: Nothing in the "Twitter Files" provides any evidence the Hunter Biden story is true. In fact, the closest it comes is the author claiming that "there’s no evidence - that I've seen - of any government involvement in the laptop story"
Despite *zero* incriminating or causal evidence being disclosed, Twitter is ablaze with MAGA supporters claiming this "proves the laptop is real", including Marjory Nutbag Green who is as giddy as a child in a candy store, tweeting about "early Christmas" and prosecuting Joe Biden, etc.

Let's make a deal, arrest and jail Eric's father first, THEN arrest/fine Hunter if he actually did something wrong. This shitshow must end.

@OP Debunking fascists legitimizes them. Arguing with them validates their positions as reasonable. Don't do it.

WaPo pblshd a scary article today showing a shift to GQP post-Elon twitter. My goal is solely to counter-evidence for the susceptible.

tl:dr for laptop drive- It's beyond compromised with clearly faked plants on it. No one can learn anything real from it. Rorshach test.
greydragon
it's unfortunate that R's and Fox watchers are not interested in truth. they believe what they believe and nothing you say can change that.
BeKindHelpAnimals
Yes, they are long gone. This is about retaining some middle-grounders (see disturbing WaPo aritcle ystd about them moving to GQP aft Elon).

Fuck you. I'm never using twitter again.

Kevin McCarthy's phone is everything MAGAs wish Hunter Biden's laptop could be.

What's telling is that tonight 12.2.22 YouTube NEWS has this Hunter B timeline: ALL FROM FOX. No other media company. #FAKENEWS
crossingdynasty
The fact that they completely and utterly botched even basic digital forensics makes it worthless as evidence but it’s all a sham anyway.
zHurk777
Remind repubs that trump fired CyberSecurity head Krebs & within a week the russians hacked Federal gov computers, worst cyber attack ever.
zHurk777
>> Christopher Krebs was head of CISA & was fired right after the 2020 election because he wouldn't go along w trump election lies.
BeKindHelpAnimals
Krebs is a truly great human being, and it shows how petty Trump truly is, firing someone who was supremely qualified to do their job!
walterPPK
An email with no DKIM or ARC signature in the headers pretty much means 1 of 2 things: you time travelled to 1992, or they’re all planted.
BeKindHelpAnimals
THANK YOU! Exctly. I've done my share of IT forensics w/salted assets and it's comical people claim a frac email "prove" the "laptop" (hdd).
zanaria
Swiss cheese has less holes than that laptop claim...Doesn't take a genius to realize it was fake...
walnutbreath
I like how they're claiming a 1A viol because the Biden campaign requested Twitter take down alleged dick pics despite Trump being POTUS and

Biden being a private citizen. Easily provoked morons all!

If I was hunter Biden I would start selling laptops. Every gop would want one.

The fact that Starlink connection is shitting the bed during Ukraine counter-offensives makes it clear that he's on Russia's side.

He does racist white nationalist dogwhistle stuff, like the whole 88/14 thing. This isn't news. It is extremely worrisome still.

Only if Trump can get in and remove the requirement that candidates must be US born. But I honestly think Russia has dirt on Elon.

Good question. Wikipedia says “natural born citizen” includes anyone born overseas to parents who were already US citizens.

There was silence from the GOP when asked if they were also hacked by the Russians. Putin has a ton of compromising GOP data.
Cheomesh
Part of my background training is in computer forensics. As soon as that guy said he accessed the system, it was worthless.
BeKindHelpAnimals
Not only that, it was preceded by a hack w/exact data being misappropriated. MAGA nuts don't seem to understand premise of salting evidence.
Cheomesh
They don't even believe in due process so that's not surprising.

fenrishero
Carlson literally had a guest on saying 'Well, that was a whole lot of nothing." So yeah, didn't quite pop.
BeKindHelpAnimals
The problem is that all of the tweet responses are "see, now we have the proof." Cult-indoctrination discourages info from outside the cult.
thechelonianshelmet
Lol, Musk's really desperate for Trump to start tweeting again. "Marthter, notith me marthter," sad cunt probably.
Bojovnik84
Stop using Twitter, period. You're not stop disinformation if the right believes it regardless. Tank the platform with no users.
Kightzeareau
I know your not looking for likes, but likes will get this information to more people. So...up you go!
BeKindHelpAnimals
Thank you very much that is very kind. Please if possible spread counter misinfo (the WaPo article tdy re:GQP migration post-Elon is scary)
BeKindHelpAnimals
sorry for abbreviations, damn hard to reply in 140 ;-)
Kopar
I have no problem believing Hunter Biden has deep issues and could be morally compromised. If he commited a crime, I have no problem with
BeKindHelpAnimals
Absolutely Hunter is no boyscout and Dems not being cultists, we believe crimes should be prosecuted on either side of aisle.
Kopar
Agreed
BeKindHelpAnimals
However, the facts show that the "Big Guy File" the right always screams about w/Biden corruption, was entrly fbrctd *aft* Giuliani/Bannon
MapleSyrupMafia
Big Guy File pretty much sounds like the Russian fuck-up of having Sims games in a Ukraine propaganda picture instead of sims cards...

Kopar
3/ investigations... at BEST there's not a lot there, other than some private photos showing he's no Boyscout. He's not serving in the WH
Kopar
4/ or in National Government at all. This is not remotely worth the amount of attention it gets and a circus of a House Investigation from
Kopar
5/ the party of Qanon has virtually no engagement with reality.
MileHighLivin
It would be useful to redline this vs the twitter thread to show what, exactly, you're debunking
BeKindHelpAnimals
6/ They also claim the Russian disinfo is disproven by tweets. Nowhere is that the case. Therefore, difficult to redline what's not there.
BeKindHelpAnimals
I'm limited to 140 characters, so this will be difficult to abbreviate. I'll do my best w/sequential markers (1/, 2/ etc)
MileHighLivin
You could probably just edit the description, instead of trudging through the char limit and replying to yourself. Your call, thanks anyway
BeKindHelpAnimals
5/ exists. They're not bothering to read objectively and instead, simply repeating the same unfounded nonsense that this "proves" laptop.
BeKindHelpAnimals
2.2 / UPDATE: ...organization / six headers that help understand the makeup, to save you time of reading things you might not care to.
BeKindHelpAnimals
9/ In short, tweets aren't incrmtng on face-val & don't "prove" laptop; however, this DOES establish comprhnsv evidence of Russian disinfo.
MileHighLivin
But I believe the meat of the leak was that twitter employees suspended the then speaker of the house for posting a link to the story.

1/ This provides evidence (w/full citations) to prove there is no "laptop" but the "hard drive" (which fortuitously cannot be authenticated)
BeKindHelpAnimals
7/ I apologize if you found it boring, but establishing comprehensive evidence in the most logical manner often is boring (plus I was rushed

I found it interesting. Haven’t really seen the details all together like that. If the email about “the big guy” truly originated after 1/2

MileHighLivin
This is awesome. I do want to reiterate, it seems the major implication in the leak is that Twitter was suppressing any talk of the story ->
MileHighLivin
-> what seems to have people upset (those who comprehend what they're reading) is that it looks like Twitter cooperated with politicians ->
MileHighLivin
-> to cover up certain stories/tweets, including any mention of the fox news article regarding this "laptop." They aren't celebrating ->
MileHighLivin
-> the confirmation of the laptop, as much as the confirmation that Twitter buried the story as a whole, and they believe this may have ->
