Twitter News Live Updates: Jack Dorsey challenges Musk to make everything public; CEO responds
Twitter News Live: Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has challenged new owner Elon Musk to stop creating sensation around the 'Twitter Files' and make everything public instead "without filter".

Dorsey challenged Musk on Twitter that "if the goal is transparency to build trust, why not just release everything without filter and let people judge for themselves? Including all discussions around current and future actions? Make everything public now". Musk replied on Thursday: "Most important data was hidden (from you too) and some may have been deleted, but everything we find will be released".
