Leftists have been going ballistic over Elon Musk’s release of “The Twitter Files” — and particularly over journalist Matt Taibbi’s viral tweet thread about them Friday…

“Imagine throwing it all away to do PR work for the richest person in the world,” NBC senior reporter Ben Collins tweeted. “Humiliating s**t.”

“Matt Taibbi…what sad, disgraceful downfall. I swear, kids, he did good work back in the day,” Daily Best columnist Wajahat Ali noted. “Should be a cautionary tale for everyone. Selling your soul for the richest white nationalist on Earth. Well, he’ll eat well for the rest of his life I guess. But is it worth it?”

“It’s true: in 2014, I taught Matt Taibbi keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste,” CNN correspondent Elspeth Reeve revealed. “If I had not done that, maybe all this could have been averted. I am deeply sorry.”
