Anyone who describes X as the most "truthful place on the internet" is lying. Anyone who says he has two burner accounts on X is under-reporting his burner accounts on X...

I can imagine any one with any celebrity status having burner accounts.

Why does someone need more than one or two?

Define fact check? He does have a certain responsibility to the company, but it's not a public company.

So why can't he tweet whatever he sees fit, for the most part?

Can be false, and people can call him out. Maybe change his mind?

All this focus on musk is interesting.

When Musk has 80,000 paid trolls that praise him on twitter and facebook 24/7, those aren't considered burner accounts?

So what are they, troll farm accounts?

All 12 of you regular posters here on the DR should get together and file a formal complaint about Musk and his unbridled posting ability.

Why? I have always hated Twitter and have sworn never to use.

The only person devastated by this news is RCADE. He thought twitter was da bomb.

Didn't he dump it for FB when Elon took it over? That's my impression.

If he did, he is wiser than I thought.
