Link to his substack: https://aaronrupar.substack.com/
EDITING to add the possible reason...and I'm editing what I'd added after discovering in the preview that the tweet from a liberal podcaster was just deleted by the podcaster. Probably because Musk is suspending journalists who criticize him. But I will leave the image of the Substack article Rupar published yesterday that apparently offended Musk.
