Hacker News Reader

Anyone have the 'long form' of this to read? Twitter is such a terrible way to read long content.

Aside: I really enjoyed Taibbi's few books, but haven't respected his online opinions since around 2016. I'm not surprised Elon chose Taibbi to 'break this story' considering what 'side' Taibbi's been on -- he's had a pretty clear bias, but I'm willing to check out more of his reporting here in long form.

Yeah I think twitter started rotting Taibbi's synapses around that time. He's become so hyper-concerned with the hypocrisy of liberals that he's not even aware how he's just become a gullible parrot for right-wing spew. Sorry but I’m done with all this fake moral outrage about a laptop or whatever.

Just wait until he's done and then tweet '@threadreaderapp unroll' (or look for replies to people who already placed the request. You'll get a link toa. single-page version.

I'm pretty sure that he'll write this up as a proper article too.

Edit : just listened to the podcast episode he linked at the end of the tweet thread and it appears from what he's saying there that he might only write about it on twitter. (Perhaps for legal indemnity reasons?)

To get access to the material he had to agree to a bunch of conditions, and it seems like one of those conditions was 'you can only tweet about it' (presumably to drive Twitter traffic).

Gross.

Until your post, I had no idea he wasn’t finished. What a way to read a complex story :P
