Look, free country, he owns the company, he can do and say what he wants, he can endorse whoever he wants. And I’m fine with all that. But what’s funny is thinking about how the right would be freaking out if prior Twitter ownership had openly encouraged users to vote Democrat. https://t.co/B9wkJ6ez2X

if you are being asked to come back after being fired, weaponize that shit against them immediately. You have so much power over the company in this case. You want me to come back? That'll be a 20% raise, and a 10% annual bonus. https://t.co/qfQXWkv59Y

Elon banning accounts for impersonating him is pretty funny. Elon handing over DMs to governments who want to kindap and torture activists will be a lot less funny. I'm tweeting through it too but ... we need a plan y'all

My technology brother in cyberspace, nobody is saying that what Twitter is doing violates the First Amendment or First Amendment principles.

They are simply pointing out that your claim that "impersonation is not protected by the First Amendment" is...terribly wrong.

Free speech does not mean freedom from consequences. People taking their speech—and their money—elsewhere is, well, the exercise of free speech. What you're talking about, Mr. Musk, is pure entitlement. https://t.co/RQAwhR23HX

Any infosec professional will tell you the greatest threat to security is speed. The fact Elon is pressuring Twitter engineers to roll out his new verification system in 10 days, to meet his day before the election deadline—under threat of firing— is about as bad as this gets.

I can admit when I'm wrong and I was wrong about @elonmusk.

No one was more skeptical than I - but his decisions this week have shown he really *can* put a social network on the path to unprecedented success.

Specifically Mastodon.

Republicans don’t care about twitter being a free speech platform or whatever. They just want to wreck it because people they don’t like enjoy it.

bro you forgot to take ownership of the part where you caused immense avoidable human suffering by heralding a bloviating, incompetent, right wing billionaire narcissist as the solution to a problem that required humility, competence, and gracehttps://t.co/iPywMdMGQ9

Twitter right now is like a nightclub where they've turned the music off and the lights on because it's 4am and the party is over - some people are still pretending, but the vibe is dead...

Criticism sometimes looks like "I don't want me or my money anywhere around you." https://t.co/fACRZThdgl

You’re going to shame companies into advertising on a platform whose direction is suddenly completely up in the air, which just lost half its staff, and much of whose consumer base now has one foot out the door? I guess you can try https://t.co/adI4fxqpNE
