Elon Musk Buys X (formerly Twitter): Just Use Bluesky, Threads, or Mastodon Instead

[squeekness]

Maybe that's how Elon actually sees himself, lol.

I see Elon is responding to the reaction to the mark of shame, by allowing users to hide their blue checkmarks. Cowards.

It's now X for Apple users.

The Verge - Elon Musk’s X can’t send Blue subscribers their ad revenue-sharing payouts on time
Twitter / X announced late on Friday that the check is (not) in the mail.

Melon has seized control of @music like he did for @x from its original account creator. As pointed out, this guy wants to be a pseudo-bank where he can and will take control of your account with no prenotice or just compensation.

He hasn't had any involvement with it in over 20 years and was not involved in the actual running either. The investors knew even then he was incompetent and replaced him.

Trump also promised to pay the legal fees for his supporters to beat people up at his rallies…


Melon pretends he spends money or likes to spend money on Twitter while racking up legal bills himself.

Of course it is also the weekend again when Melon’s worst impulses come out.

Some are going to take him at his word and find themselves stuffed.

The big one I saw rumored was Gina Carano. Which, lol.

Imagine that, Gina Carano with the "help" of Musk trying to go after Disney...that would be hilariously stupid.

Associated Press - Special counsel obtained search warrant for Twitter to turn over info on Trump's account, docs say

Special counsel Jack Smith’s team obtained a search warrant in January for records related to former President Donald Trump’s Twitter account, and a judge levied a $350,000 fine on the company for a delay in complying, according to court documents released Wednesday.

The details were included in a decision from the federal appeals court in Washington rejecting Twitter’s claim that a lower court judge was wrong to hold the company in contempt and imposing the sanction.

The filing says Smith obtained a search warrant directing twitter to produce “data and records” related to Trump’s twitter account. The government also got a nondisclosure agreement prohibiting Twitter from disclosing the search warrant. The filing says the court “found probable cause to search the Twitter account for evidence of criminal offenses.”
