As De Gaulle would say, The Internet graveyards are full of indispensible platforms. Microsoft and Apple do this petty software warfare to each other on a daily basis, but journalists worship and love those corporations. So let’s hold the one tycoon we hate, the villain-of-the-week, to a higher standard. It’s so tetchy and pusillanimous. The media is like your mother after she bought a smartphone in 2015 sending you nagging texts all day

The ultimate pettiness is journalists who hate Elon Musk mocking him for the SpaceX test rocket (the largest rocket ever, I think) blowing up today.
"I’m now undecided, given the conflict with Twitter. Ideally, Twitter just buys Substack itself; "
What!? That would be terrible! Substack would then be a plaything of rich, crazy, autocratic Elon Musk.
I decided to go ahead and invest yesterday.
In Substack?
Yes.
If I had the dough I would as well. Good luck!
