After some journalists in the USA reacted to the Twitter Files issue, Elon Musk said, “Why is corporate journalism running to defend the state, not the people?” He replied and shared a news on his social media account. A Twitter user asked if it makes sense for Elon Musk to buy Substack and combine it with Twitter. Elon Musk, on the other hand, shared that he was open to the idea by publishing this tweet.
