Twitter Owner Elon Musk Blocks Substack Competitor and High-Profile Journalists Quit Twitter in Response

Elites are leaving Twitter after it started restricting likes, shares of Substack content and links, especially newsletters from writers.
The blockade came swiftly after Substack unveiled a social media-like feature meant to rival Twitter.
Twitter's move caused outrage from the principled writers as Musk vowed to defend free speech.
The exodus shows growing distrust of Musk and a willingness to choose competing platforms giving creators more control.
Journalists complain Twitter damaged their livelihoods and showed Musk's pettiness rather than principles.
