Last night was about @[email protected] sending a message to journalists that he OWNS THEIR ACCOUNTS and journalists need to be mindful of not pissing him off.

The only appropriate response is to reject this kind of bullying.

Whatever happens, happens.

According to the LA Times, the alleged stalking attack on Musk’s son has not been reported to the police. Musk posted video of the driver and the car’s license plate on Twitter; the police could have used DMV records to instantly identify the owner of the car, had it been reported as a crime. This suggests to me that it was probably some personal dispute, blown up by Musk as a victimhood performance.

@lfrobertson @juddlegum yeah, there's tons of just taking him at his word on that and very little actual reporting to substantiate the claims so far.

@tom4okstate @lfrobertson @juddlegum Exactly. When my friends at Media Matters for America, Free Press & Color of Change talked to advertisers about protecting their brand, a huge amount of advertisers paused. Musk said the Twitter TOS would stay in place, then proceeded to destroy his promise with his Twitter Blue Roll out.
When he brought back those suspended for illegal content, he told advertisers he has a new robot that will keep their ads away from the horrible content. Don't trust him!
