Twitter CEO Elon Musk admitted on Saturday that he personally hasn’t read «hardly any» of the Twitter Files and is leaving the rollout up to Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss.
Elon Musk has put journalists Bari Weiss and Matt Taibbi in charge of releasing the next round of “Twitter files,” or private internal communications from former Twitter executives, acknowledging that he personally has “hardly read any” of the documents.
“I gave Bari Weiss access to The Twitter Files an hour ago,” Musk announced during a live Twitter Spaces Q&A on Saturday. “At some point it might make sense to have them publicly available so that anyone can look at them. The general idea is to surface anything bad Twitter has done in the past.”
The Twitter CEO said he’s “somewhat” leaving the task of rolling this out to Taibbi and Weiss, admitting that despite promoting the release of the files on Twitter, he personally hasn’t read many of them at all.
