Any journalist who is happy *some* of you have had your #Twitter accounts restored, while others are STILL #suspended without a shred of justification, simply do not understand where #elonmusk is going with this.
He plans on monetizing the mob to humiliate you and keep you compliant. Your intentional targeting and discomfort will be a financially valuable form of entertainment.
@KraftTea Thanks for sharing this perspective and a screenshot of this tweet.
However I don't know who you are; you've almost nothing in a 24-48 hour old profile. You've also not provided either a link to the original tweet or an archived copy of the tweet though at least one fake tweet attributed to Musk has made the rounds on Mastodon today.
Please don't make readers need to validate this by going to Twitter; archive a copy and share the archive link.

I should post an introduction here soon. Lots of my initial readers were friends from zee bird s(h)ite, so it's no surprise you don't know me.
Here's a bio that was written about me from the fmr. director of BBC World Service, for a British journalism textbook he contributed to.
The comment Elon made is at https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603985491505795072
@femme_mal So yeah... I am still really new here, and its a bit of a culture shock. I didn't expect my post to get so many boosts, but I try to be very transparent.
I've overseen a large online community before -- 2nd in charge of LiveJournal.com in its early, open source, community run days.
Elon doesn't care about / apply value to / hasn't learned the lessons that those who have grown communities would know.
He's a deeply flawed personality, coming in with ulterior motives & goals.
@KraftTea I rely on Marcus Aurelius' first principles from Meditations X when it comes to the opaque and frustrating acts of Elon Musk. What is it on the face of it, what is its essential nature, what has it been since its origin?
Musk has been excessively catered to, encouraged to believe himself above his peers; he's fabricated credentials and avoided accountability for them. This is not the nature of an advocate for free speech or democratized media.
@KraftTea Musk can't be trusted. When sharing material from Twitter, always archive it first in Internet Archive's Wayback Machine because the long-term viability of Twitter is questionable and Musk has a habit of deleting tweets.

“Someone has to say it: Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science. 🧵1/â?
@femme_mal
I'm quite familiar with his fabricated credentials, but wasn't aware of how it might influence his decision re: the poison pill.
I naturally assumed it was a combination of his ego and a tendency to gamble in a rash manner, using hucksterism to bail him out, when needed,that was the reason for him not paying.
Elon has taken big gambles, but has backed them up with lies, privilege, and puffery that most decent people would simply never dream of relying on.
@KraftTea IIRC there were two different points during the acquisition process when his credentials might have been called into question, the second of which was the case in Delaware's Chancery Court to force completion of the deal.
SEC might have an issue with Musk's misrepresentation of himself repeatedly to shareholders; the board of directors is already peeved with him, w one of largest shareholders calling an absentee CEO. If he was booted, what happens to his power and capital?
@femme_mal
He fabricates and spins A LOT.
I am almost certain that key aspects of his claims re: the recent "stalking" were made up, as a way of justifying his targeting of ElonJet.
He was in a very video monitored part of a very video monitored city, and never filed a police report, presumably because he didn't want the LAPD to pull video from all the nearby cameras.
Tea time.
