It’s ok, they’ve retroactively modified Twitter’s policies to cover it now.

Uh… some stalker follows Musk’s car, so he’s taking legal action against someone who re-posts entirely public information about Musk’s airplane?
Truly, Musk has a dizzying intellect.

I think it’s likely Musk is mad that people knew he was still in SF for the Chappelle booing incident. He took over Twitter because his grifts were falling apart because people were talking shit about him on the internet and Twitter had the reach to fuck up his fantastical bullshit. Self-driving, tunneling everywhere through rock magically removed by shit as equally horseshit as self-driving or colonizing Mars. So he bought Twitter just like Theil bought lawyers to murder Gawker.

Surely nothing will calm the advertisers down more than having stories in every major outlet about Twitter banning journalists without warning or reason.
Very calming to other users, too…
[Edit] Two attempts, and he’s still not getting the results he’d like.

Meanwhile, Musk is still spouting lies (and absolutely ridiculous legal theories) about the journalists who were suspended…

All his cons are overvalued and have been for some time. What’s Thiel up to these days? He’s a big driver of this billionaire fuckery.

That move has “I’m terrified that users will follow the content to other platforms” written all over it…
[edit]
On Saturday, Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz was suspended for breaking the new rule before it had been formally announced.
This looks like it’s becoming a repeated trend. Musk can do whatever he likes with the platform, but punishing people before you’ve even told anyone about the rule change you’re punishing them for, and then updating the policy after the fact, is a crappy way to run a business.

At this rate, one of his recently-born offspring could run things better than he is.

as soon as he finds someone “foolish enough” to
…take over as the public face of the company and take all the blame as Musk continues to yank the company in wild directions whenever he has a tantrum…

I vote for the somewhat older offspring, who told him to shove off. That one has already shown one good judgment.

He canned the board so he doesn’t need to run it day to day to still have power over the decisions.

It’s also atypical for the head of a major company to announce a deal the way Musk did. “Disciplined people running public companies don’t talk about strategic transactions until they actually have a signed deal, and then they have very high-end lawyers and PR people who craft the press release,” Miller said. “You don’t announce a deal until you have signed documents. No one would. The idea that you would do anything else is, you know, like crazy stuff people did back in the '60s or something,” he also said.
Although this is technically about Tesla, it involves Twitter, and the schadenfreude is very high…

The Department of Understatements somewhat agrees with this statement.
