This is really embarrasing. If feel so much Fremdschämen when I think of Elon Musk.

#62Is is possible this is some sort of "lesson" about the dangers of platforms being able to arbitrarily ban stuff, that will be revealed in a week or two? It almost seems like the exact opposite of everything Musk was implying about a low-censorship platform. It's almost hard to believe that Musk/Twitter are at serious at this point

#63pg's twitter was amazing archive of insightful content. How do I get the backup of his tweets? I always thought it will be there all the time. Does he has backup that he can share? I am all but stunned right now. Need time to process this.

You don’t.

Welcome to the fun times of walled gardens owned by capricious wankers!

Maybe!

#64This is an absurd situation. I wonder how many "promises" made by Elon have been broken regarding how he wants to manage Twitter and make it a better place.
E.g. what about transparency here? Where is the explanation why this account was suspended?
I am not sure, that with Elon in the hot seat the trust of the public into Twitter may be restored anytime soon... very sad.

#65Don't forget, that during the Twitter FBI Email drops that have been happening recently, that in 2010 twitter gave a firehose of ALL tweets + Updates to the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS[0]
And if you dont think the FBI/NSA havent had a palantir like view into all of those....

#68Let’s just hope this is a moment for people who didn’t see this dumpster fire coming to re-examine a few other beliefs.

#69For anyone who missed it, his last tweet (there may have been something else in replies) was:
"This is the last straw. I give up. You can find a link to my new Mastodon profile on my site." (Note that he didn't even link to it, but he did link to the Twitter privacy policy)

#70It’s getting really hard for Musk supporters to justify him.
Trump supporters haven't slowed down a bit. In fact, they tried to overthrow the government under his banner. Why do you think it will be any different for Musk supporters?
