I feel like Elon wanted to distance himself from Substack. Trying to figure out the reason I think it’s because he has his own. He also doesn’t want to create the impression that he and Matt are like linked at the hip.

I feel like even if Matt’s mad he might be doing Matt a favor. It could be totally wrong though.

Open to intelligent input on that.

Matt was posting links to his Substack..Elon DID NOT like that. Elon recently had bought X and I don't think he likes traffic pushed away. However, he really hadn't said anything then suddenly did. Not sure Elon wanted Twitter files on Substack due to its viral nature..he wanted it in X

Well that shows he is a self centered douchebag who puts lining his pocket over getting the truth out.

he didn’t have to do it in the first place. It was kind of a selfless act.

Meh, is Elon a better person than a lot of tech oligarchs, probably. Is he an angel, hardly considering he is tangled up with the Peter Thiel Palntir crowd. A deep rabbit hole if you care to down it.

It looks less like Matt is Elon’s employee this way, especially if Elon doesn’t even allow Substack to be posted on X. That isn’t that Elon is aware of what these people will say.
