I keep wondering why Matt Taibbi tweeted the file drop instead of Musk? I expected Musk to tweet it. Who is this Matt Taibbi guy and why was he chosen?

Taibi is well known and reliable, and before this drop they loved him. I first noticed him when he was at Rolling Stone which you would think would suck but even there he wrote good stuff.
I recall he worked with Michael Hastings at Rolling Stone. Hastings was one that got General McChrystal shitcanned for reporting on unflattering things he and his staff had said about commander in chief and veep.
A few years later Hastings died in a car wreck. Many theorists believe he was working on huge story and car was given the old See Eye Eh hack job.
I first read Matt in 2010 when he was at Rolling Stone and compared Goldman Sachs to a vampire squid.
