None of it was news. As we learned during the Trump era, just because a narcissist claims that unjust things are happening doesn't make it true. I, for one, am glad that Twitter suppressed links to and media of Hunter Biden stolen and disseminated without his consent. All the other discussions in the "Twitter Files" are mundane, day-to-day happenings and decisions made at a ton of tech companies across the world with two goals: don't get sued, and don't get bad press. More than half of what has been released had already been covered many times over by other news outlets and journalists.

If anyone thinks these communications are a smoking gun, I'd invite them to get into the upper reaches of leadership and see for themselves that there are rarely cut and dry cases where everyone agrees on what to do or when to do it. In reality, operating a multinational business that needs to avoid regulatory scrutiny is, believe it or not, challenging.

So look at all this through the lens of what Elon seeks to gain from releasing all of this. He never acts out of pure altruistic intentions; he only takes action when he believes it will greatly benefit him.
