3. 5 hours later and Elon has unbanned the journalist but in such a way he's encouraging his fans to harass them by claiming they are evil doxxing menaces. Lmao this boy

As someone who ate a twitter perma for my doxxing of plane N628TS, he didn’t actually unban anyone. The “you are permabanned” message got replaced with “you are suspended”

You still have to delete the ~offending~ tweets to regain your account. I appealed with “lol gently caress you”

Hold on, Elon is going to use block and mutes from the $8 club to make things they don't like less visible to everyone? What the gently caress. How can he be so stupid? Every single other platform with decades of experience has discovered negative interactions with content are almost as useful as positive interactions. Anything that drives engagement by tautology drives engagement, it is the stuff you want your algorithms to boost because it drives engagement. Things people really like or really hate make them stay on social media. It is neutral stuff that drives people away. I know Elon isn't doing this for ethical reasons so I guess this was just something stupid he thought of and there is no one at Twitter that would explain how this is not profitable to the clown king.

Elon Musk’s team has reached out for potential fresh investment for Twitter Inc. at the same price as the original $44 billion deal, according to one shareholder who said he was contacted about the proposal.

Ross Gerber, president and CEO at Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management, said a representative for Mr. Musk contacted him about offering more shares Thursday.

"Listen I know I said Twitter was losing missions of dollars and we have 1 billion of loans to repay a year but its a good investment. Great!"

I like how Elon crafted dozens of non-mad posts about a tweeter being mean to him and his jet, but the loss of 600billion of mostly other people's money can be dealt with in a single snarky remark.
