Musk has seized control of the department that distributes all monies that the government pays out to all agencies, organizations and private individuals (like Social Security).

He has the personal information of all these entities under his personal control, as well as any money they are owed.

This makes control of the mainly legacy media trivial by comparison—not that it isn't also a threat, but not as immediate as control of the money.

X was just a means to an end

@emmalbriant

"...you can monitor x with an account and remain broadcasting on this platform."

One idea I'll add:

I've been on Twitter since 2009

I used Lists extensively, and had upwards of 17 when I left Twitter for Mastodon and went read-only on Twitter in very early November of 2022

I've noticed that my old Lists all function exactly as they always have: I see only the List members I had added, and none of Musk's cr*p ever intrudes

Don't know about a new List created now but it might be worth a shot

@emmalbriant Doesn't this at some point make X effectively a government agency?

Then, can we sue for free-speech censorship at X, as well as conflict-of-interest for EmperorM running government and X simultaneously without divestment.

if there's one thing that #elonia knows how to do, it's put the dys in dystopia

@emmalbriant

The 'rat can be arrested at this point. Seizure of government data is illegal. Why isn't someone bringing charges?
