‘Twitter Files’ journalist Matt Taibbi: Musk proved to be ‘very disappointing’ on free speech issue

Summary by Ground News

Former “Twitter Files” reporter Matt Taibbi said that billionaire Elon Musk has proved to be “very disappointing” on the topic of free speech. Taibbi, who published the first installment of the “Twitter Files” after Musk bought the platform, argued the Tesla CEO has fallen short of his promise of being a “free speech absolutist.” “I do believe that Elon proved to be very disappointing on the free speech issue,” Taibbi said during an appearance on NewsNation’s “Cuomo” Friday. “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.”
