Elon Musk's Twitter is now disabling comments, likes, and retweets for tweets containing links to Substack, a popular writing and newsletter platform. Self-proclaimed "free speech absolutist" Musk may be censoring Substack to launch a competing product from Twitter. 

An independent journalist, Matt Taibbi, known for working on Twitter Files blamed Twitter for blocking users from sharing links to his articles on Substack

The head of Twitter talks a big game about free speech, but his actions tell a different story.

The professional relationship between billionaire Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, and independent journalist Matt Taibbi hit a serious and possibly irreparable snag late following Musk's quixotic decision to suppress links to Substack.

This comes as the nation is still reeling from another mass shooting in Nashville, Tennessee.

Twitter's "free speech"-touting owner is using the service to fight his own battles with the press.

Twitter reversed restrictions it placed on content from Substack, a publishing platform that is rolling out a new product called Notes that rivals the prominent social media platform owned by Elon Musk.

San Francisco, April 10: Popular subscription newsletter platform Substack on Monday hit back at Twitter for blocking the ability to like or retweet any posts containing the word Substack, saying the whole situation is very frustrating.

It seems that Substack and Twitter had managed to resolve their dispute, and Substack stated that the "suppression" had ceased.

Twitter CEO Elon Musk has denied blocking links to Substack, the popular paid newsletter platform, following recent controversy. Musk may deny that links were blocked, but the self-proclaimed "free speech absolutist" used the same tricks on Substack that the company has used on conservatives for years.
