Elon accuses Substack of "illegally downloading vast amounts of data to pre-populate their Twitter clone." "massive theft of Twitter data"
- https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31737312/elon-musk-accuses-substack-of-massive-theft-in-attempt-to-compete-with-twitter
- (and Elon says that this is the reason twitter's systems censored substack, but that part of the story isn't what we'll be evaluating here.
- My guess is that most of what twitter did to them was deliberate and vindictive, but that the initial response could have been triggered by automatic systems, and it would be meaningful if it had been.)
- What made this interesting for me is that I seem to remember seeing Substack claim that they didn't do it, though I'm unable to source it now, it'd be greatly appreciated if someone could find substack's response to the accusation.
- I'll resolve the market when we learn one way or the other.
