Laptop source: Thank you, Elon

The former owner of a computer repair shop who blew the whistle about Hunter Biden’s laptop said he’s been “vindicated” now that Twitter owner Elon Musk released the explosive report on how the social media giant censored The Post’s reporting on the disgraced first son’s shady overseas business dealings.

“I’m grateful . . . . I basically was financially ruined by Twitter last year. I tried to save my career because Twitter labeled my actions ‘hacking,’” John Paul Mac Isaac said in an interview Sunday on Fox News, noting that he sued the company for defamation.

“So obviously watching Elon release this material Friday night was very exciting for me because what I felt like I knew the whole time was true. And I feel vindicated,” he said.

He also said things could have turned out differently for him and his legal challenges, which were dismissed, had Musk owned Twitter earlier.

“If he had bought Twitter during the lawsuit, I think things would have worked out a little bit better for me. But . . . I’m grateful that the truth is coming out now and that I’m vindicated,” Mac Isaac said.

Musk, who bought Twitter for $44 billion in October, released through journalist Matt Taibbi on Friday a damning report on how the top workers at the company suppressed The Post’s exposé on Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020.

The decision to censor the story was made at the “highest levels of the company” and used the rationale that the report violated Twitter’s “hacked materials” policy — a conclusion that a number of insiders questioned, according to Taibbi.

Mac Isaac said the hacking theory doesn’t add up.

Hunter Biden abandoned his laptop at the Wilmington, Del., repair shop in April 2019, and Mac Isaac said he turned over its hard drive to the FBI. Months later, he got in touch with Rudy Giuliani, who provided a copy of the drive to The Post.
