Elon Musk's Substack feud causes Twitter turmoil for journalists.
TL;DR
Elon Musk and his lead Twitter Files writer, Matt Taibbi, have ended their relationship over Musk's decision to block interactions on tweets that include links to Substack. Taibbi has left Twitter and will solely be using Substack going forward. Twitter's actions against Substack today have caused many Twitter users to receive greatly diminished reach on the platform. The feud between Taibbi and Musk comes just one day after Taibbi appeared on MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan's cable news shot where Hasan pressed Taibbi on various errors in his Twitter Files reporting.
