Elon Musk is a liar, and you're spreading his lies.

According to Twitter it's still available.

According to Musk himself, who is a liar, which is my point.

It's pretty pathetic when his fan-boy stans spread his lies for him without checking the facts. That winningness to destroy your own reputation by lying for him is shameful and disgraceful.

You should spend more time correcting your mistaken beliefs by learning the truth, than spreading Musk's lies out of intellectual lazyness and willingly gullible unquestioning ignorance.

Claimed “sources familiar with the matter” who can’t be named. Meanwhile the CEO of the actual company concerned confirms the news report of this notorious leftwing hack paper is factually incorrect.

Then explain why his latest head of trust and safety contradicted him. Her name is Ella Irwin. She's certainly familiar with the matter, and definitely not anonymous, and now you know her name. Musk is a bald faced liar, and you're willingly gullible to believe him, and dishonest to spread his lies and blame it on "fake news". Have any more false conspiracy theories you want to spread?

Twitter head of trust and safety Ella Irwin sent Reuters an email after the article was published. “We have been fixing and revamping our prompts,” she wrote. “They were just temporarily removed while we do that.”

“We know these prompts are useful in many cases and just want to make sure they are functioning properly and continue to be relevant,” Irwin added.

The two sources who told the Reuters reporters about Musk’s decision to disable the feature requested anonymity because they “feared retaliation,” the outlet reported. “One of them said millions of people had encountered #ThereIsHelp messages.”

The decision to disable the feature — even temporarily — was sharply criticized, especially because of the timing during the holiday season.

Confirmed by top officials at Twitter, though their explanation is bullshit, since there's absolutely no reason to disable the existing system while developing a new system.

Musk is a liar, and you're a fool to believe him.
