‘Twitter Files’ journalist Matt Taibbi may leave Twitter over alleged Substack spat

Matt Taibbi, a journalist for” Twitter Files,” expressed dissatisfaction with the social media site when he learned that CEO Elon Musk‘s’s most recent changes to the code of the website included blocking users from accessing Substack links.

Of all things, I discovered earlier nowadays that links to Substack were blocked on this system. Taibbi wrote on Twitter on Friday afternoon,” When I asked why, I was told it’s’s a dispute over the new Substack Notes platform.”

I was worried and enquired as to what was going on because sharing links to my posts is one of the main reasons I came to this system. Therefore, I had the choice to post articles to Twitter. He stated,” I’m’m obviously staying at Substack, and I’ll’ll be switching to SubStock Notes next week.

Following that, Taibbi published a Substack article titled” The Craziest Friday Ever” in which he explained his decision to leave Twitter and referred to it as” hostile competition” to Subsetack.

According to the previous Rolling Stone journalist,” Twitter is unhappy about the latest Substack Notes function, which they see as a angry rival.”

Not much anticipation that, I’m’m staying at Substack, Taibbi continued. You all have been wonderful to me, as have the company’s’s management. I’ll’ll be switching from Twitter to the fresh Substack Notes feature, which you can all see, starting early next month. This conclusion appears to come at a cost in terms of any future Twitter Files reports. I’ll’ll always been grateful to those who gave me the opportunity to work on that report because it was definitely worth it, but man, what a strange world this is!

The self-employed columnist posts content on Substack and earns money from followers.

The Twitter CEO tweeted on Saturday,” Substack links were never blocked ,” refuting the claim that the links had been blocked from his platform and denying any rivalry with the social media platform. Matt made a unfounded claim.

The Twitter CEO claimed in a tweet that Substack had attempted to” bootstrate their Twitter clone” by downloading” a significant portion of the Twitter database.”

It” turns out Matt is/ was an employee of Substack ,” Musk added as a side note to his lengthy tweet.

Following his acquisition of Twitter last year, the public media executive hired Taibbi as one of the few journalists to have access to Twitter’s’s internal communications, demonstrating how Twitter collaborated with the authorities to stifle and judge accents on the system.

The first of” Twitter Files” findings was made public by Taibbi to show how professionals handled the Hunter Biden report from the New York Post privately, among other revelations.

Musk had stopped following Taibbi on Twitter as of Saturday noon.

Nothing of Musk’s’s cases, including his claim that Taibbi was a Substack individual, were true, according to Chris Best, co-founder and CEO of the company.

The reference to Brest’s’s sheet from his tweet was functional when he tested the Substack link on his Twitter account.
