Twitter CEO Elon Musk says he has evidence that Hillary Clinton attempted to “corrupt and overturn” the 2016 election through misinformation about “Russia collusion.”

Musk’s tweet came amid new revelations of left-wing bias and “shadowbanning” at Twitter.
Update: Some disputed Musk’s claim that Perkins Coie does not represent Twitter at the moment:
