@mtaibbi @TxBTC @elonmusk I followed the whole twitter files situation closely. Matt, you and Michael did an amazing job, however, the way you handled the initial situation with substack with Elon was wrong. I am not surprised he was upset with you. You sort of attacked him.

@TxBTC @elonmusk No, the arrangement was very specific and we all adhered to it. All breaking news stories from the Files had to come out on Twitter, past that he didn’t care. Even after the disagreement I never broke that deal. The issue was his dispute with Substack.

@mtaibbi @elonmusk Didn't he hook you up with the twitter files thinking you would only post on X?

Outside looking in, it's very obvious he feels you betrayed that agreement.

Since @elonmusk published parts of these conversations, I might as well include others. I was under a “blanket search ban” at one point and a lot of my 1.9 million followers still don’t see my content.

@mtaibbi @elonmusk Sorry, are you actually suggesting Elon is deliberately burying your visibility to stop people from seeing what you post?

Any proof of this? Seems like a pretty large scandal for his supposed #1a platform if that is true.

The tone of the conversation is defensive and seeks to clarify a misunderstanding or accusation. The content of the statement is a denial of an alleged action (attacking Elon Musk).
