He and X now banned tweets (or whatever we call them now) from being embedded in forums.

This might be my favorite thing he has done.
I'm just nostalgic for the good old days on forums before tweets were spammed on them.
When you had to know a little HTML to get an updoot from a .gif. good ole days

u forgot the </img> so it's just showing code. a little rusty, eh?
Time to grab HTML for Dummies from the public library.
Careful, the library has gotten confusing. Self checkouts that aren't iphone based so i always need to ask for help. Interesting crowd in the computer lab.
Is he not happy that people can easily view tweets without signing up?
@Chishawk1425 is gonna have a rough time
I can teach him how to take screen shots and upload them to a hosting site and post them so he can stop giving Elon clicks. @Chishawk1425 do you know how to do this already or would you appreciate a quick step by step tutorial I can put together? I can help with Windows, Chromebook, or Android phone. I have never used an iPhone and would have to look up how to do screenshots on that first.
How to post tweets now
1. Whatever device you are using, figure out how to take a partial screenshot of your screen (alternatively you could take a screenshot of your entire screen and then crop it later). 2. Save your screenshot to your device in a location you can upload files to the internet from. 3. Find a free...

If he can monopolize the eyeballs looking at tweets he hopes to sell more (and more expensive) ads.
Seems to me like something that would ultimately drive traffic down.
So now that they're back you are going to give him credit for his amazing version of free speech right? I mean, you're not a hypocrite are you?
Lol Elon already dropped that freeze peach ball before this. He has already banned posters he personally doesn't like. Nobody has to be fair to Elon just because of a bunch of Gen X dorks have chosen him as their false idol to worship
Certainly. Obviously he got a ton of heat from his first reaction and changed course. That's at least a good step forward.
