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 place in/around the intelligence apparatus of the U.S. government.
“Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop”… Just sayin’…
There is a pattern now of prominent figures, setting an apparent pattern fighting the good fight against tyranny, then self-discrediting.
Part of the 5th Gen Warfare?
I don’t trust Musk, I don’t trust Taibbi, I don’t trust Twitter, I don’t trust our Government at all.
There are very few people on the planet that I trust!
That includes everyone in government at any level, all the legacy media, and corporations.
Call me a cynic but I’ve seen too much to be any other way.
Your point is? If you’re interested in what’s being said, you just have to review and analyze. It’s not a requirement that you trust or believe anything.
Hi, I guess the point is I am trying to figure out what Elon is doing with Twitter and so many here think he is a white hat and becoming red-pilled and ‘fixing’ Twitter. But I just can’t trust him because he is funded by CCP and so into AI. However, Taibbi also seems to be getting red-pilled but has always taken such a leftist position that he has not yet earned trust. So this article has made me feel that Twitter is just not worth being on, darn it, as I like it.. It’s sad to feel boxed out of society by this growing cancer of corruption.
Elon Musk purportedly has Asperger Syndrome.
A form of autism.
So… and I am not defending Elon, when he does or says things that make no sense, maybe that is the cause?
Again, I am no fan of Elon and I know THAT statement will get me no end of comments telling me that his take over of Twitter was so good that even cow manure will taste good now… (chuckle)
All I have to think about is how Elon made his money. FROM MY AND YOUR TAX DOLLARS!
Prove me wrong.
Something I’ve noticed recently is pasting a link in Twitter (to a YouTube video for example) the link gets turned into a plain text headline. I have to paste the link in another program and then copy/paste the text, then the hyperlink works.
