Matt Taibbi Leaves Twitter Due to Elon Musk's Substack Restrictions

Matt Taibbi, one of Elon Musk's chosen reporters for the "Twitter Files," has left Twitter after the platform restricted links to Substack. Twitter began blocking likes, retweets, and comments from posts containing Substack links, which led to widespread backlash. Taibbi, who had praised Musk's handling of Twitter, was unhappy that he could not share his recent Substack posts criticizing MSNBC and Mehdi Hasan. He sent an email to his subscribers announcing his departure from Twitter and will use the new Substack Notes feature instead.
