So petty and counterproductive. I would have missed the whole Substack Notes announcement if it wasn't for Matt Taibbi (and for Twitter hostile approach).

Matt did a great job with the Twitter files, he has integrity and he's "incorruptible" whereas Elon is a petty tyrant who goes nuclear for the slightest disagreements, so I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this will end up with Matt's account removed.

Yup, Musk already stopped following Matt Taibbi https://twitter.com/BigTechAlert/status/1644438910305464326
That’s how I got hold of this.
he has integrity

He really doesn't. He's been a hack the entire time. I hated his writing when he was a liberal darling as well; he whips up readers emotions with sensation but holds back contextual information that would allow them to easily get up to speed on the issue in question. It's a commercially popular form of journalism, but not a good one.

Not to mention failing to fact check anything he says and outright lying on behalf of Musk.
