‘Twitter Files’ Journalist Matt Taibbi Says Elon Musk ‘Proved to be Very Disappointing on the Free Speech Issue’
Matt Taibbi, who worked on the “Twitter Files” with Elon Musk, has said that the X owner “proved to be very disappointing on the free speech issue.”
Musk has repeatedly claimed to be a “free speech absolutist,” while shadowbans, unexplained suspensions, and unevenly enforced rules have continued.
Taibbi discussed the issue during an appearance on NewsNation’s “Cuomo” Friday.
“I do believe that Elon proved to be very disappointing on the free speech issue,” Taibbi said. “All of us who worked on the Twitter Files felt the same way. We went in feeling tremendously optimistic that he actually meant a lot of the things that he said about being in favor of all legal speech and, being a free speech absolutist and all these other things.”
“That proved not to be the case.
