Monthly agenda templates from the Center for Countering Digital Hate list “Kill Musk’s Twitter” as their primary objective, according to internal documents reviewed by The DisInformation Chronicle.
The phrase appears as the first item in planning documents dating back to early 2024.
The documents show CCDH, a British nonprofit, included plans to “trigger regulatory action” against X, formerly Twitter. The organization’s focus on X comes as questions emerge about its activities under its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.

Records indicate CCDH held meetings with several groups, including representatives from the Biden White House, Congressman Adam Schiff’s office, the State Department, and Media Matters for America.
The documents surface amid ongoing legal disputes between CCDH and X. In 2023, X filed a lawsuit against the nonprofit. A federal judge dismissed the case, stating it appeared to be an attempt to penalize CCDH for its critical reports about the platform.
