Business Insider was just trying to make Elon Musk sound bad, but they failed. They write about “Musk’s goons” who’ve been brought into Twitter. Why, even Musk’s two-year-old son is often seen on the 10th floor.
Nobody cares about any of that; what we’re interested in is the access Musk has given to Bari Weiss, who’s up to publish the second part of The Twitter Files.
"Now, Weiss has been given access to Twitter's employee systems, added to its Slack, and given a company laptop, two people familiar with her presence said.
The level of access to Twitter systems given to Weiss is typically given only to employees…"https://t.co/3zBi3eDGJP

Nice.
By Saturday, Musk said Weiss would take part in releasing what he’s dubbed “the Twitter files,” so far consisting mainly of correspondence between Twitter employees and executives discussing their decision in 2020 to block access to a New York Post article detailing material on Hunter Biden’s stolen laptop. Now, Weiss has been given access to Twitter’s employee systems, added to its Slack, and given a company laptop, two people familiar with her presence said.
The level of access to Twitter systems given to Weiss is typically given only to employees, one of the people familiar said, though it doesn’t seem she is actually working at the company. Matt Taibbi, the other newsletter writer through whom Musk has released the Twitter files, didn’t seem to receive this degree of access, the person added.
So Weiss doesn’t have to go through former FBI lawyer James Baker, who was deeply involved in the Russian collusion hoax, to get to internal documents. (She couldn’t anyway, since Musk sent Baker packing last week.)
Oh, wait, now we’re getting the take that Musk is going to go through all of your direct messages and “weaponize” them. Oh, and yeah, Weiss is doing PR for the world’s richest man. We’ve already heard it.
This is a model of corporate transparency which should be applauded rather than mocked https://t.co/nCPNcJ9PoC

The reply section is an orgy of smug corporate presstitutes. Representing everything that is wrong with journalism today.

The litmus test between journalist and activist is how they respond to Weiss, Taibbi, and Greenwald

Yep. We were waiting to see how they’d attack Weiss, and you can take your pick from the replies.
