Unhinged Narcissistic 🤡
I’m with Elon on this. The Kobe Bryant account hasn’t tweeted in like three years. Free up that handle so I can use it for my NBA2K Twitch content.

Why did Musk threaten to remove NPRs account and assign it to another entity? In direct violation of his own TOS?
Be specific here.
I don’t know, perhaps due to non-use. Link to direct violation of TOS? This seems open to interpretation and of course the Always Angry crowd will misinterpret it however they feel like.
NOPE
READ the policy. He threatened to hand off their account "name" based on "not posting anymore".
Obviously
Twitter's TOS do not require ANYONE to "post" anything; they simply require you "log in" once a month.
He ignored his own TOS to threaten NPR to start posting stories, to drive traffic to his site.
PF often doesn't read what he links which leads to self owns like this.

Spent most of last week at conference where I hung out with a former Twitter senior account exec (he handled Google’s advertising account with Twitter)
He bailed right after Elon’s second attempt at a buyout and formed his own start up. He has a few friends still working there and he said they told him it’s a dystopian nightmare worse than depicted in the media.
FWIW

Musk fanboys who bought a blue check didn't like it? I'm shocked
I grew up in a lower, transitioning to upper, middle income situation, but did not have a happy childhood. Haven’t inherited anything ever from anyone, nor has anyone given me a large financial gift.
My father created a small electrical/mechanical engineering company that was successful for 20 to 30 years, but it fell on hard times. He has been essentially bankrupt for about 25 years, requiring financial support from my brother and me.
That said, he does deserve credit for teaching me the fundamentals of physics, engineering and construction, which is more valuable than money, but did not support me financially after high school in any meaningful way.
Our condition of providing him financial support was that he not engage in bad behavior. Unfortunately, he nonetheless did. There are young children involved, so we continued to provide financial support for their well-being.
Regarding the so-called “emerald mine”, there is no objective evidence whatsoever that this mine ever existed. He told me that he owned a share in a mine in Zambia, and I believed him for a while, but nobody has ever seen the mine, nor are there any records of its existence.
If this mine was real, he would not require financial support from my brother and me.
What a self less hero. I cried reading this missive.
Soo much trashing of twitter..... via tweet.
That I actually don't understand and agree with you. I have no idea why people just don't leave that shithole platform.
I thought one of the advantages of being a billionaire (much less the richest or second richest guy on the planet), was that you wouldn’t need to explain yourself to the masses. Clearly Elon didn’t get enough hugs growing up.

Ask him yourself. Pretty sure his DMs on LinkedIn are open:
@torbee maybe your sources are simply highly prejudiced and intolerant? could be.
453K votes, 73% say experience is about the same or better. Far cry from dystopian whatever the hell.

His brother also gave plenty of interviews talking about the mine and how he got into Emerald trading. Elon also mentioned the mine in an interview with Forbes.

I wasn’t referring to user experience though, although it has significantly degraded as well.
This can't be serious. It's gotten soooo much better. All of that clear political propaganda is finally gone off the News/Trending pages.
