On Wednesday, Twitter CEO Elon Musk revealed that important data in the Twitter Files releases was "hidden" and "deleted," but vowed that "everything we find will be released."

"Most important data was hidden (from you too) and some may have been deleted, but everything we find will be released," the Wednesday afternoon tweet read.



The tweet came in response to a post from former Twitter CEO and company cofounder Jack Dorsey demanding that all information related to the Twitter Files be released "without filter."

"If the goal is transparency to build trust, why not just release everything without filter and let people judge for themselves? Including all discussions around current and future actions? Make everything public now. #TwitterFiles," the tweet read.

On Tuesday evening, Musk also tweeted out the phrase, "Oh, what a tangled web they weave, when first they practice to …," referencing the 1801 poem by Sir Walter Scott Marion: A Tale of Flooded Field, with the complete line ending in "deceive," according to the Daily Mail.



In Tuesday’s release of the Twitter Files, it was revealed that now-former twitter Deputy General Counsel James Baker had "vetted" the Twitter Files, causing delay and occurring without "knowledge of new management," said journalist Matt Taibbi.

"We can now tell you part of the reason why" there was a delay, Taibbi posted. "On Tuesday, Twitter Deputy General Counsel (and former FBI General Counsel) Jim Baker was fired. Among the reasons? Vetting the first batch of “Twitter Files” – without knowledge of new management."

"The process for producing the “Twitter Files” involved delivery to two journalists (Bari Weiss and me) via a lawyer close to new management. However, after the initial batch, things became complicated."

"Over the weekend, while we both dealt with obstacles to new searches, it was @BariWeiss who discovered that the person in charge of releasing the files was someone named Jim. When she called to ask “Jim’s” last name, the answer came back: “Jim Baker," Taibbi continued.
