But not only do the files give a unique, never-to-ne-repeated look at how Twitter analyzed and viewed my lawsuit against it, you have me - the guy on the other side, the only person who gets the subtleties here as well as the lawyers on both sides - explaining what they mean...
It really is a shame that the elite media and #lawtwitter (which leans so far left it can't even stand up) is so politically blinkered that it can't just view this as a great legal story, if nothing else.

This is a good and fair question that I promise to answer at length on a Stack. But I will say the choice to settle was very complicated for all kinds of reasons - including the prospect of Elon's takeover, which meant that ultimately I would have been suing him if I'd continued.
I will also say (not to jump on the Stack) that when you are in the middle of negotiating over a complex and unique lawsuit, you have to guess at lots of things - including why the other side might WANT to settle at all...
This isn't a slip-and-fall where both sides know pretty much what it's worth, it's more like very high stakes poker. We knew we had a strong case, and Twitter's eagerness to settle confirmed that...
#TwitterFiles@elonmusk 1/ URGENT: Twitter's own lawyers believed the company could not successfully defend its Covid vaccine censorship policies against my lawsuit over its 2021 ban of my account.
2/ Twitter was likely to lose Berenson v Twitter, my federal lawsuit against the company for banning me over my mRNA vaccine reporting, Twitter’s lawyers concluded after reviewing internal documents related to the ban.
3/ The documents, whose details remain secret but which the lawyers called “problematic” and “sensitive,” also show Twitter’s most senior executives disagreed over its decision to censor me in the summer of 2021.
"I’m 30, generally healthy aside from episodic migraines with aura and depression, 4 times vaxxed, and I took Paxlovid..."
That's a G, $400 for the jabs plus $800 for the cold medicine. (She's 30 and skinny, zero risk.)
"Migraines with aura and depression" is your next clue...
"[No] full-on fever and I wasn’t about to pass out but I was EXTREMELY sick. If my oxygen levels hadn’t stayed 95% and above, I would have gone to the hospital."
Wait, you didn't have a fever/dizziness but you almost went to the ER? Also, why were you checking your O2 levels?
1/ Funny story about opiates. Put it in the weird but true category!
China had a big ol' problem with opium in the 19th and early 20th centuriues. Our fault (okay, the Brits too), we shoved opium down their throats. Fought a war to make them import it. I know, not nice...
2/ But hey, the Chinese had all this tea and silver and silk, and it was ours for the taking if we just got them hooked on the shit.
Anyhoo, we pretty much ruined China, the whole ruling class was too high to function, dynastic collapse, civil war, famines, whatevs...
3/ Then Mao and the Communists came along. And it took a while but they kicked Chaing Kai-shek's ass and sent him to Taiwan. And guess what the Communists liked even less than greedy landowners and other capitalist pigs?
@kevinnbass Here’s Switzerland, which conveniently breaks deaths into over and under 65 - note the big post-boost winter spike in over 65s (link next tweet, you can download the actual numbers):
