Elon Musk Calls Matt Taibbi a Liar – Substack CEO Responds, Defending Taibbi
April 8, 2023 | Sundance | 246 Comments
I’m not sure what is going on at the Twitter with Elon Musk, but apparently either his team is misleading their CEO, or Musk is just shooting from the hip.
In a reply to Matt Taibbi’s report about Substack content being blocked by Twitter and Taibbi’s decision to exit the Musk platform, the Twitter CEO fired back, calling Taibbi a liar.
Twitter’s own internal checkers put a community note, citing the claims by Taibbi were essentially correct. Then, Substack CEO Chris Best weighed in on the issue, claiming the assertions by Elon Musk were false and the weird claim about Taibbi being an employee of Substack is completely without merit.
Mediaite – […] Forbes reported Saturday that Best and other figures at Substack are being individually punished on Twitter now, too.
“To top it all off, it appears the Substack crew is being punished on Twitter in other ways. If you try to search co-founder Chris Best on Twitter, his profile doesn’t show up,” writes Matt Novak.
Musk’s claim that Taibbi is a paid employee was an obvious implication that he was shilling for his bosses rather than reporting honestly. An ironic line of attack, considering it’s the same charge leveled at Taibbi and the other Twitter Files journalists by Democrats during a House hearing. (read more)
It’s all weird…. which, I might add, is not unusual for events that take placein/around the intelligence apparatus of the U.S. government.
“Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop”… Just sayin’…
(Dr. Shiva backdoor ecosystem that Musk won’t close. Free speech is not Musk and his master’s want. At least 20% CCP owns twitter. Seems like Tik Tok is the scapegoat.)
