So disappointed in Twitter. I thought Elon was a big supporter of Substack. Terrible news, but so grateful for the work you and others did on the Twitter files.
Enjoy vacation, but for what it is worth, I am a paid subscriber of Racket (and other Substack feeds) and treat Substack as an informative place for thoughtful, long-form content, and Twitter as a way to see a quick witty banter-type debate (I know, that’s a kind characterization of many Twitter threads). Don’t leave Twitter. Even if you can’t link to Substack, your more personal content and commentary are valuable there. Plus, maybe Elon will change his mind.
Matt, I hope your stand will help bring Elon to his senses as he has just dealt a blow to free speech and independent journalism infinitely more lethal than anything exposed in the Twitter files.

but but but all the blue check set said that you were a puppet of The World's Richest Man?
The world has gone off the fucking rails. That said, have a great week, dude.

You are a great journalist and I never followed you or anybody else on Twitter. I’m with you right here on Substack and am a dedicated supporter.
Seems foolish and short-sighted by Twitter
This is all beyond stunning.
Happy spring break, you earned it!! Glad you are staying on Substack.
Strange bedfellows now estranged. So many connected interests. Tangled webs everywhere. Appreciate you Taibbi!
Thanks for all your work. Standing up for what you believe in even when it comes at a cost is something we should all strive to do.
Suits me. I found reading Twitter files on Twitter beyond inconvenient.
Don’t have a twitter account and don’t plan to. Substack for me!
Matt, enjoy the vacation. You, and your family, earned it.
The Craziest Friday Ever...until Next Friday.
Have an awesome vacation, man. 🤘🏻
MEGA KUDOS for standing up for Substack against this inexplicably petulant sh*tf*ckery that I could only hope is a belated April Fools' joke, Matt 👏👏👏
If it isn't a joke, Elon just Streisand-Effected Substack Notes from oblivion into the stratosphere. That was dumb.
"posting my articles on Twitter instead of Substack"
How the eff am I supposed to post 10K-word-plus pieces on freaking Twitter like my Dissident Dialogue with CJ Hopkins (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/dissident-dialogues-cj-hopkins) and the nearly book-length one currently underway with Meredith Miller?
Matt, I hope your stand will help bring Elon to his senses as he has just dealt a blow to free speech and independent journalism infinitely more lethal than anything exposed in the Twitter files.
Your move, Elon.
