It's nice to have it finally acknowledged. Sure, nothing too new but having it acknowledged is somewhat nice to have. Elon should have tweeted it out though, don't get why he didn't but then again he's a bit mad sometimes.
Maybe having a journalist put out the story offers some measure of legal protection, when the named parties with deep pockets come a-suing?
True, sounds like a valid point. At least someone puts it out there for everyone to see.
Why do stupid people not understand the difference between them personally believing something from inference and the public believing it from hard evidence?
“The public” has turned a blind eye to plenty of hard evidence the last three years.
Yeah no shit.
Someone remind me who Matt Taybibi is... name sounds familiar.
Edit: ThreadReaderApp
The first paragraph of his wiki page is a fun read.
IIRC, He's been on Tim Pool's show several times. He's regularly published anti-establishment pieces, despite being on the Left. He also published a famous piece reporting on BLM riots and burnings that had taken place outside of major metropolitan areas. He was traveling across the country and found that BLM violence, burnings, rioting, and lootings had taken place even in small towns with businesses attacked.
He’s been on Rogan before and I believe also wrote a book on corporate media fear mongering culture
So far nothing new besides some emails showing what everyone already knew.
Yep. This slow burner seems to be a test for Twitter's platform improvements. See how it handles the load of so many live watching, and to build data on engagement.
Great test case with real world metrics. Bit light on material, but I suppose now its no longer the worst kept secret.
Why didn't Elon tweet it himself, I wonder.
Some trollish reason, or maybe same reason as Kanye in a kidnapper's mask.
Its all meh, but I'm enjoying thinking of the libs having conniptions.
He probably likes Matt, and thinks that Matt can reliably keep some necessary information secure.
