All talk, no walk! X tells Brazil's Supreme Court it'll comply with rulings. https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/x-tells-brazils-top-court-it-will-continue-comply-with-rulings-2024-04-15/

Judge Amit Mehta granted an injunction against Attorney General Ken Paxton of Texas's investigation of Media Matters for America. (This lawsuit was filed in response to a Media Matters report last year about Nazis on X.) https://www.mediamatters.org/angelo-carusone/media-matters-statement-winning-injunction-against-texas-ag-ken-paxton-federal

> One source at X told me that Musk has directed engineers to add Grok to the tweet box for users who pay for X Premium, the platform’s subscription feature, which means that users may soon be able to tweet with the help of AI (I imagine this will look similar to what X CEO Linda Yaccarino already posts).

@SimonCHulse Deleting your account and freeing your handle as a notable person would open you up to a world of impersonation.

@Hipska @SimonCHulse No. https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/3/24120602/x-free-premium-verified-blue-checkmark

@Hipska @SimonCHulse Say you have 5 million followers and delete your account. After 30 days, Twitter will free the handle, available for anyone to register it.

Someone comes and registers the handle for themselves. Then, they buy a checkmark for $8 and DM some random person saying “Hey, I’m Jane Doe and you’ve won $1 million. Send me your bitcoins.”

Even if you leave, you shouldn’t delete your account. (And everyone with over 5K “verified” followers will now have an unremovable checkmark.)

@wolfpld @Hipska @SimonCHulse I want Musk to fail and all, but if people are getting scammed out of their life savings on Twitter due to the incompetence of some rich asshole, it’s a bad thing.

This is just so hilarious to me because the domain x.com still redirects to twitter.com. Still. Almost a year after the “rebrand.”

Try it out for yourself: https://x.com/

X rolled out a change that automatically converts all links that have the string “twitter” anywhere in them to “X.”

For example, if someone tweets the link setwitter.com, the X client application will change that link to sex.com.

This is not a joke.

@jamesbritt No, spacetwitter.com would turn into spacex.com.

@brandonlivesin It’s Twitter → X. I just saw it on the website about a couple hours ago. (They’ve been slowly filtering out addresses, seemingly manually.)

Here's a thread of some tweets from Elon's (now confirmed) burner account.

One of them asks: “Do you like Japanese girls?” The other proclaims: “I love Hong Kong yay.”

Really, it's just a goldmine. Please read: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1650674324209287169.html

I've updated the link to an archived version so people without accounts can view the thread.

(If they could just allow people to look at tweets without an account…)

“It seems noteworthy that when a right-wing government demands censorship, Musk defers to the law; and when a left-wing government demands it, Musk threatens to pull out of the country.”

Elon Musk admits that his posts have financially harmed X. The testimony was released as part of a transcript regarding Musk's deposition in a case where he is accused of defaming a college student.

“People are attacked all the time in the media, online media, social media, but it is rare that that actually has a meaningful negative impact on their life,” said Musk.
