As a former federal corruption prosecutor, this story, detailing tension before the search of Mar-a-Lago between prosecutors wanting to do the search and FBI agents arguing for a more cautious approach, struck me as more than a little strange. 🧵 washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
You’ve heard of the owner’s box? This is the “Owned By” box.
IMPORTANT: @elonmusk's new policy preventing linking to competitors is in DIRECT VIOLATION of European Union rules. Penalty can be a fine of up to 20% of Twitter's annual revenue commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-p…
I was just reading up last night about how Musk was long undocumented because he didn’t have a college degree that was necessary for a visa and he seems to have been lying about it ever since
BREAKING: Governor Youngkin has asked us for PRISON FUNDING of $50,000 for jailing women or doctors who violate his 15 week abortion ban proposal. While this is administrative to pair with his bill (that will not pass) it tells us what his real intent is.
SHORT THREAD: Neo-Nazis today doxed journalist Hilary Sargent, including posting where they think she lives, the name of her young son and more. They claim she runs some anonymous Twitter account. I can say unequivocally they're wrong. (1/4)
Ro Khanna is going full mask-off at this stage. He's likely going to be a problem on important votes.
Elon Musk suspended Linette Lopez of Business Insider, because he didn't want you to read about things like this about Tesla:
yo this is getting wild, @lopezlinette is both a great markets reporter and someone who also just happens to have done great investigative work on @elonmusk’s $TSLA
Great to see media companies stand up for their journalists in the midst of pretty obvious censorship on Twitter. Oh, wait. NBC suspended Ben Collins for accurately characterizing the guy censoring journalists. semafor.com/article/12/16/…
The NEW scandal here is that NBC thinks this completely accurate observation is somehow not editorially appropriate. Some outlets are really embarrassing themselves right now regarding Musk coverage and their refusal to fully support their reporters. semafor.com/article/12/16/…

Ted is right. The solution is to move en masse to another platform when one is ready, let Twitter turn into Truth Social & tank Musk’s $44 billion investment.

Twitter is currently mass-banning accounts that go against it and Elon Musk’s interests, including journalists who cover him/the company, Mastodon, leftist accounts, and more
The journalists being suspended are largely focused on two beats: extremism and technology. While big tech wields power without accountability and violent white supremacy is allowed back onto Twitter, the watchdogs — including independent media — are being deplatformed
"The New York Times released a statement Thursday evening calling the move “questionable and unfortunate,” and called for the tech company to offer an explanation about the suspension. Privately on Friday, the paper’s leadership asked staff not to fight with Musk on Twitter."

An Idaho woman who is miscarrying and been denied an abortion because of state law has been documenting herself getting sicker and sicker over the last two days
This is an absolutely outrageous course of action by @NBCNews to take in response to a an unprecedented attack on journalistic freedom Free @oneunderscore__

People really need to understand how mainstream it has become in some tech VC circles to argue that journalism itself is dangerous as an idea and should be abolished, and that it will be up to the tech world to carry this out.
Let this sink in: @elonmusk hath decreed that all links to Mastodon should be flagged as malware. This is, of course, a baldfaced lie, and he knows it. So the CEO of Twitter is lying to everyone on Twitter, and to all its advertisers, even to all of his defenders.

The scandal here is that Elon Musk discovered who his company's deputy general counsel was six weeks after he purchased it.
Ted is right. The solution is to move en masse to another platform when one is ready, let Twitter turn into Truth Social & tank Musk’s $44 billion investment.
No. @elonmusk way overpaid for Twitter and he can basically do whatever he wants with it. The First Amendment prevents Congress from regulating speech on Twitter, a private business. It is not Government’s role to tell Twitter who to ban, who to suspend or who to promote.
Twitter is currently mass-banning accounts that go against it and Elon Musk’s interests, including journalists who cover him/the company, Mastodon, leftist accounts, and more
The journalists being suspended are largely focused on two beats: extremism and technology. While big tech wields power without accountability and violent white supremacy is allowed back onto Twitter, the watchdogs — including independent media — are being deplatformed

Do I have this right? 1. Musk plane tracker posts nothing on Tuesday. 2. Musk says stalker incident took place Tuesday night. 3. Video from Musk allegedly showing stalker was filmed nowhere near airport. 4. LAPD says no one has filed a report about the incident as of Thursday.
Bellingcat Discord member Sepulco geolocated the video Elon Musk posted overnight, claiming to show a stalker, which he used to justify the banning of accounts that tracked flights. It's at 34.116175,-118.160635, not close to any airports. google.com/maps/@34.11613…
