Ridiculous for anyone to complain about this. You wouldn't have the documents unless you made this deal, it's a no-brainer. Thanks!

Yes. Who cares about where they are published and just get the truth out there

I agree and reach a bigger audience in the process. Get over it, complainers!

Exactly. Amazing that folks complained.

After reading the original article on X, I inferred what you wrote in this post. It was obvious, X released documents and only asked for you to publish there first. Totally reasonable request, and your willingness to accept that deal is also reasonable.

I guess many people don't understand that everything is a negotiation ...

Yup. Tradeoffs...just like any medical decision. I thought that was a lesson learned.........

Hey, I'm with you. We have to support people like Elon who buck the trend against social media censorship.

I don't have (Twitter) X, but I say do what's gonna get the word spread fastest and furthest! I will just keep reading your Substack and hope that someday....the covid scam will be fully exposed and people punished. Thank goodness for Elon and you.

Fortunately you don’t have to have an X account to read what he wrote there. Just click the link and you can read it!

Thank you, Ree. So many X links just go to the sign in page I have quit trying posted links. Thought I was barred from reading the article as a non-Xer so was miffed. Elon has every reason (and right) to ask that articles based on his internal corporate documents appear first on X.

Kudos! Couldn’t agree more, Jessica. Both Alex and Elon have my grateful thanks.

Always defer to your judgment. That's why I subscribe. Back you 100%.

So grateful to Elon, and completely understood your reasoning. You made it very clear yesterday. Some people just like to complain.. thank you for what you are doing, and thank you to Elon for forgiving and trusting you!

Thanks for this clarification and pursuit of your, and by extension our, rights.

No complaints here. Thank you for doing what you do.

Bravo, Alex! Yes, of course your should publish first on X. Elon has done us all a great service by having the guts to stand up for free speech against such hostility. This, of course, also, applies to you, too, Alex.

Ignore the complainers. Appreciate all you do.

You see, even though Covid is on the way out the Covidians and the Karen's aren't! They need something else to bitch about and this is their new cause du jour.

Thank you for the explanation. It makes total sense.

Yea I love Alex but he would have saved himself a major headache if he’d only added a sentence to yesterday’s post reminding people why he posted it to X only.

Never apologize for doing the right thing. This isn't a team sport. You've got to get this critical reporting out the best way you see fit--even if that means talking to Joy Behar. Lol.

😂 Joy Behar is a bridge too far! 😝

yup

I figured it was something like that. Cost me an extra nanosecond to add one more click.

Expand full comment

I figured most of that out immediately. Too bad others failed to take a few minutes for some critical thinking. Sadly, a seemingly lost art.

Carry on.

I clicked on the link and read the article. Easy. I don't spend any time on Twitter/X, but I keep my account for this reason! Some people will complain about anything and everything.

Ignore the petty small minded people they do not know what they are saying.
