NEWS: Two years ago, an internal document from the Center for Countering Digital Hate listed "K*ll Musk's Twitter" and "Trigger EU & UK regulatory action" as annual priorities.
CCDH was co-founded by Morgan McSweeney, who later became UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Chief of Staff.
This week, Starmer threatened to remove X's right to self regulate.
UK regulator Ofcom opened a formal investigation into X over Grok.
Ofcom can fine X up to 10% of its worldwide revenue or block X in the UK entirely.
Starmer also announced this week a UK ban on under 16s using social media including X by spring 2027.
The 2024 documents were published by journalists Paul Thacker and Matt Taibbi.
