In just a few weeks, Elon Musk has inflicted serious damage on Twitter — pushing conspiracy theories, alienating advertisers, and firing thousands of employees. This is bad news for Popular Information.

Over the last four years, half of Popular Information's readers found out about this newsletter on Twitter. But since Musk took over, our account has lost more than 20,000 followers. And now Musk is warning that Twitter could go bankrupt.

That's why I need your help. Popular Information has 213,000 readers, but only a small percentage are paid subscribers. If a few more readers upgrade to paid, Popular Information can invest in alternative growth strategies, reach more people, and produce more groundbreaking accountability journalism.

If you upgrade to paid in the next 24 hours, you'll also receive a 20% discount off the regular price:

Upgrade to Paid

The people running Twitter now are not fans of Popular Information. David Sacks, a right-wing venture capitalist that billionaire Elon Musk recruited to help him run Twitter, has attacked me repeatedly. In a series of tweets, Sacks called me "disingenuous," unserious, and someone who has been "advocating greater censorship for years." 

I provoked Sacks' ire by noting that he was wrong about First Amendment law. I also pointed out that Musk was violating his purported commitment to free speech by suspending accounts that were parodying him. Facts appear to make these people quite angry.

We won't be intimidated. Popular Information will continue to rattle the cages of powerful people like Musk and Sacks. You can join the fight today by upgrading to a paid subscription at 20% off — just $4.80/month or $40/year:

Your support will help innoculate us from the whims of right-wing billionaires like Musk and ensure that Popular Information thrives for years to come. 

Thanks,
