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?

Democrats and the Fake News are gonna have a very tough time attacking Matt Taibbi, messenger of The Twitter Files tonight.
Taibbi is a contributing editor for far-left Rolling Stone and has written a number of Trump-deranged articles over the last few years.
Elon clearly thought this through and knew to have an anti-Trump journalist deliver the information, knowing he couldn’t be attacked as “biased”.
Brilliant.
Those who have been following things in the political sphere for a while will recall Taibbi's piece branding Goldman Sachs as "a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money." - in relation to the predatory and criminal conduct of this entity around the 2008 'financial crisis'.

That's one damning soundbite drop against They Who Shall Not Be Named, and be sure he paid a price for calling attention to them. So in that context, he is a veteran campaigner even though embedded at a very left-wing publisher as you say.
An interesting character, and were I to hazard a guess, I dont think its any coincidence that he has decided to take point in trying to spread Elons disclosure to the masses. Perhaps no affiliation with Q and the MIC but he is certainly walking in steps that they also tread.
