Twitter CEO Elon Musk has said that he had fired the microblogging website's deputy general counsel James Baker over concerns about his role in information suppression under the previous management. "In light of concerns about (James) Baker's possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue, he was exited from Twitter today," Musk tweeted on Tuesday.

Last week, journalist Matt Taibbi in collaboration with Musk published "Twitter Files". These set of documents were mainly Twitter's internal communications to disclose links with political actors and with a focus on how the social network blocked stories related to Hunter Biden's laptop in the lead-up to the 2020 US Presidential election.
