Leaked documents from the UK’s Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) show a coordinated effort between the Biden administration, the UK’s Labour Party, and other liberal think tanks – all to put a choke hold on Elon Musk’s X platform before the US elections, critics claim.
The documents, said to be from an internal monthly planner and leaked by a whistleblower, are the subject of an “Election Exclusive” piece by investigative journalists Paul D. Thacker and Matt Taibbi of The Disinformation Chronicle, a US media outlet devoted to the topic.
“EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENTS: Working w/ @mtaibbi we report on @CCDHate documents showing the Labour Party's political front's objective is "Kill Musk's Twitter" thru "Advertising focus" meaning harass his advertisers,” Thacker posted on X.

According to Thacker, the documents depict the Center’s plans to shut down the X platform (formerly known as Twitter) "while strengthening ties with the Biden/Harris administration” and other sitting US democrats – some of which have “introduced multiple bills to regulate online ‘misinformation.’”
One of the leaked documents lists the 'deadly' missive under a section titled “annual priorities” and shows a May meeting scheduled to discuss “project timing around the UK general election,” which took place this past July.
It also specifically mentions setting up a US policy engagement meeting with long-time US Senator Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, whose office is responsible for introducing several of those misinformation bills in Washington.
But that’s not even the worst, the whistleblower leaks also show that in June the non-profit and tax-exempt CCDH held a conference – attended by members of the Biden administration and other liberal groups – allegedly to further discuss their plans to dethrone Musk and his platform.

The list of persons said to have checked in for the ‘anti-hate speech’ event included US State Department officials, representatives from the United Nations Population Fund, Canadian MP Peter Julian, and the left-leaning media watchdog, Media Matters for America.
Also among the attendees listed are staff members from US Congressman Adam Schiff's office (D-California), who is also the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
Additionally, another document shows the CCDH suggests the possibility of joining forces with the Canadian OSB regulatory watchdog to "deplatform" the far-right social media account brand 'Libs of TikTok.'
Apparently, the whistleblower also mentioned that multiple A-list celebrities – including US actress and songstress Selena Gomez – are regular donors to the Center, which is repped by a well-known Hollywood talent agent.
X CEO Linda Yaccarino, in a repost on the social media platform, called the whistleblower leak "unconscionable and wrong."
"Evil thrives in darkness. We will continue to expose those seeking to silence our users. NOW IS THE TIME TO PROTECT FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND SAVE DEMOCRACY!" Yaccarino said.
This is unconscionable and wrong.

More accusations
This story comes to light as former President Donald Trump, also on Wednesday, “blatantly accused” the UK’s ruling Labour Party of foreign election interference in support of rival US Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming US presidential race on November 5th.
Trump’s accusations stem from a since-deleted LinkedIn post by Labour’s Head of Operations offering to “sort your housing” for a group of 100 plus “current and former” Labour staff members planning to stump for Harris, in person, across several US battleground states.
Trump lawyers sent a scathing letter to the US Federal Election Commission requesting an investigation into the August post, among other pre-planned overseas trips by Labour Party members and staff.
Responding to the allegations, a Labour spokesperson told NBC News on Wednesday that it was "common practice for campaigners of all political persuasions from around the world to volunteer in U.S. elections,” echoing statements from newly elected Labour Party leader and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Musk and the Center for Countering Digital Hate, which labels itself "an international organization disrupting the production and spread of hate & misinformation" on its X profile, have not commented on the whistleblower's claims at the time of publishing this report.
