Taibbi said he will ditch Twitter and stick with publishing on Substack, which this week said it will roll out Substack Notes – a forthcoming platform whose look appears similar to Twitter, according to screenshots release by the company. It would seem Musk’s platform regards Notes as a potential threat.

Due to the decision to side with Substack, Taibbi noted he likely will not be able to publish any more Twitter Files dumps because one of the conditions of publishing that material was to deliver the information on Musk’s platform.

ELON RESPONSE

1. Substack links were never blocked. Matt’s statement is false.

2. Substack was trying to download a massive portion of the Twitter database to bootstrap their Twitter clone, so their IP address is obviously untrusted.

3. Turns out Matt is/was an employee of Substack.
