The big reveal is basically that Twitter acted like every other media company in the country (except the New York Post) and sniffed at this thing and said, "Eh, seems sketchy, we need more information."
Some lame shit. Also, for whatever he's getting paid, Taibbi should have had the courtesy to tell Musk you don't drop breaking news on a Friday night unless you're trying to bury it.

On his Substack, Matt Taibbi tells his readers that he "had to agree to certain conditions" to do the Hunter Biden laptop thread for Musk. pic.twitter.com/49i58VbIIX— Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona) December 3, 2022

Story seems to downgrade the theory of “The FBI told Twitter to suppress the laptop story” to “some libs at Twitter didn’t to help Trump win the election”

Want to help
idk what the funniest thing about this is, the fact that the tweets that were "handled" were literally just leaked nudes or all the idiot chuds forgetting that it actually would've been Trump's government violating the first amendment
― frogbs, Saturday, 3 December 2022 04:04 (one year ago) link
or maybe the god awful way the story 'broke', a news dump on a Friday night via a slow tweet thread that stopped working right away, a thread that gets 16 tweets in before revealing anything at all

hardcore
Musk’s transition team has been slowly going through the list of employees who didn’t check "yes” to being hardcore in a Google form and, if they are marked "critical,” calling them to see if they are sure about wanting to leave.— Alex Heath (@alexeheath) December 3, 2022
Remaining engineering managers are trying to convince their other reports who have left to come back. It has been communicated that basically anyone can come back if they want. They are being encouraged to negotiate for perks like guaranteed remote work.— Alex Heath (@alexeheath) December 3, 2022

Out of curiosity I looked at foxnews.com just to see how this is landing over there. Of course it’s the Top Story but most of the article is just re-posts of tweets succinctly pointing out how stupid this thing is.

Interesting: Twitter has posted positions on LinkedIn for both software engineers and - gasp! - product managers. They list salary ranges.For the Sr PM role, the salary range is $175-259K. For Staff & Sr Staff Sw Eng, $243-$338K. Only New York and SF as locations for all. pic.twitter.com/vxMIsDy73Q— Gergely Orosz (@GergelyOrosz) December 3, 2022
Twitter currently hiring. Tweet says all jobs are NY or SF only but I checked for myself and there's one in Seattle and one eng position in London too which is maybe surprising?

Especially that Elon is acting like the Editor-in-chiel of Twitter, commissioning stories from substack journos. Everyone writing there now seems to be working for him.

Essentially left at the start of November and zero regrets. I'll maintain the account so it doesn't get snapped up and will note when I'm tagged or DMs, but that's it. My last 'active' post may be tomorrow with the new By-the-Bywater episode but thinking it'll be fresh start time for that on social media as well in the new year.
