I wonder if Twitter would be in the right to deactivate musk’s account. They’re a company & he’s clearly trying to cause them harm. I see no reasons as to why it wouldn’t be justified. (Hilarious too, I might add.

They can certainly do it but it’s end Twitter as a going concern.

People like to pretend.

While reading this, I feel Musk just pulled a Bobby Axelrod on Twitter. I'm curious what's about to happen because of it.

A web search indicates that “Bobby Axelrod” is a TV show character. What does “pulling a Bobby Axelrod” mean in this context?

Because he's a near-10% shareholder and accounts like his are a major driver of new account growth. I wonder if this episode has impacted growth or engagement metrics any. Hard to imagine it hasn't
