This was quite interesting-ish. The first part less so as i've heard it mostly before - the second part looks at the 'Twitter Files' and whether they were a big ol' nothing burger (i hate that phrase, but i used it anyway, so there)- quite interesting, whatever you think of taibbi (a bit less personally if i heard right some of the things he used to say about 'corporate capitalism' - ie that old canard that what we have now isn't proper capitalism, but corporate capitalism, and proper capitalism would actually be ok - the standard shy capitalist bollox.(i think that's the gist, please correct me if i misconstrued it (i might well have)). "Hi. Elon Musk was forced to buy Twitter a few months ago. Despite his claims of being a "free speech absolutist," his actions since buying Twitter show that he's a liar and hypocrite who readily censors speech that doesn't personally benefit him."
"Hi. For Part 2, we look at how The Twitter Files don't show the kind of nefarious intent that Elon Musk hoped they would, and analyze why he bought Twitter in the first place (other than being forced to)."
