Musk-Taibbi feud boils over: Elon sends pugnacious private messages, accuses journalist of betraying Twitter
-
Journalist Matt Taibbi posted unhinged messages he received from Elon Musk after their falling out nearly a year ago.
-
The messages show Musk accusing Taibbi of stealing Twitter data for the Twitter rival Substack that he writes for.
-
Musk told Taibbi "You are dead to me" and to "get off Twitter and just stay on Substack."
-
Taibbi was initially an ally of Musk's but their relationship soured after Substack announced a Twitter competitor.
-
Taibbi now accuses Musk of suppressing his Twitter account as retaliation even though Musk claims to champion free speech.
