The Center for Countering Digital Hate, a leftist pressure group associated with England’s Labour Party, is seeking to “Kill Musk’s Twitter” by harassing X advertisers in an apparent attempt to meddle in U.S. elections by causing the demise of one of the few social media platforms that allows people to speak freely without being easily banned. “This is war,” a furious Musk declared in response. Musk vows to “go after” the organization and its donors.
The British leftist pressure group Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) — which is aligned with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, and is a messaging vehicle for Labour’s neoliberal think tank, Labour Together — is seeking to “Kill Musk’s Twitter,” according to internal documents obtained by journalists Paul Thacker and Matt Taibbi.
The CCDH documents, posted in The DisInformation Chronicle, show that the foreign company is also seeking to strengthen its ties with the Biden-Harris administration and pro-censorship Democrats like Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), who has introduced legislation to regulate online “misinformation.”
The internal documents show that the first item on the CCDH’s monthly agenda from earlier this year is to “Kill Musk’s Twitter” through an “advertising focus” meaning harassing advertisers to get them to stop paying for services on X in an attempt to drive the social media platform into the ground.
From there, the agenda seeks to “Progress towards change in the USA and support for STAR” — meaning the creation of an “independent digital regulator” that could “impose consequences for harmful content” — and to “set up meetings with Klobuchar’s team.”

This is their internal monthly planner. Their goal is to also trigger regulatory action, although they are a tax-exempt nonprofit. pic.twitter.com/b3TFMA5LLm
“STAR’s core concepts are similar to Europe’s just-instituted Digital Services Act and Britain’s even more stringent Online Safety Act, which puts the national media regulator Ofcom in charge of determining fines for uncooperative platforms,” Thacker and Taibbi explain. ===>READ MORE HERE

Leaked documents allegedly reveal British nonprofit CCDH’s efforts to ‘kill’ Elon Musk’s X by targeting advertisers.
In a development with significant implications for the upcoming U.S. presidential election, leaked internal documents from the British nonprofit organization, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), have surfaced.
The documents allegedly reveal a coordinated effort to undermine Elon Musk’s X, formerly Twitter, with the explicit goal to “kill Musk’s Twitter” by pressuring advertisers to withdraw support. These revelations, brought to light by journalists Paul D. Thacker and Matt Taibbi on their Substack ‘The DisInformation Chronicle,’ outline a broader strategy by CCDH, which has strong ties to both the U.K.'s Labour Party and U.S. Democrats, particularly the Biden/Harris administration.
According to the leaked documents, dating back to early 2024, CCDH’s top priority was a campaign titled "Kill Musk’s Twitter" to financially destabilize the platform. This plan, focusing on harassing advertisers, reflects the broader political goals of CCDH’s founder, Morgan McSweeney. McSweeney, a British political operative, played a central role in Labour Party leader Keir Starmer’s rise to power and is now advising U.S. Democrats, including Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
The documents raise serious questions about the intersection of nonprofit advocacy and political maneuvering. While CCDH markets itself as an anti-misinformation organization, the leak reveals a more politically motivated agenda. One of its top objectives is to “trigger EU and UK regulatory action” against platforms like Twitter, further blurring the line between its stated mission and its actions. According to IRS regulations, CCDH’s tax-exempt status could be at risk if it is found that its activities primarily aim to influence legislation. --->READ MORE HERE
