BREAKING!
The Antifa Turtle on #Twitter shared a Twitter API okta leak that shows there is a list of "protected accounts", all of them right wing, who are allowed to break #X Terms Of Services without consequence and includes a list of whitelisted slurs they are allowed to use.
The whistle-blowing Twitter account was suspended by mods shortly after.

On the Twitter blocking follows to Harris2024 account on announcement day:
a. Nadler is right about the asymmetry of every hiccup like this the GOP launches investigation if they don't go along with this.
b. I doubt this was intentional by Musk but definitely a by-product if him cutting staff to the bone so they or the infrastructure couldn't respond to it accordingly.
c. Since Musk didn't step in to fix it immediately like he does whenever a groyper, right wing edgelord, or Nazi shreeks at much smaller issues it is still proof of his desire to have Twitter be explicitly a right wing vomit hose. At the very least Twitter users should create primary accounts on the fediverse (Mastodon, Bluesky, even eek Threads) and at most secondarily post to Twitter.

Elon Musk is a lesson in the dangers of unchecked corporate leaders
When rich people convince themselves that they’re rich because they’re smart – instead of lucky and ruthless – they misapply their talents to areas beyond their expertiseSiva Vaidhyanathan (The Guardian)
Unpopular opinions:
#Mastodon’s obsession with #ElonMusk is unbecoming. It’s time we grew out from beneath his shadow, stopped defining ourselves in contrast to him & weaned ourselves off feeding on anger/contempt towards him.
I feel much the same way about #donaldtrump, who also thrives on attention—positive or negative.
Your Twitter/X account is a microphone connected to a mixer controlled by a fascist. You can speak all you want. The fascist controls your volume and can mute you whenever he wants. And you might not even know you’ve been muted because you can still hear yourself in your headphones.
It’s not called resistance when your volume knob is in someone else’s hand.
Fe-Diversity, no, thanks?

In November, he outlined a vision for Twitter that effectively tries to replicate his old vision by grafting it onto the ailing social media platform. I explain why it’s doomed to fail and what it tells us about Elon Musk.

To the right, “free speech” isn’t what we conventionally understand it to be. It’s not a general right to speak freely; to them it’s their right to speak without consequences, while cracking down on their critics.

As I wrote in Time a few months ago, we need to realize he hasn’t just taken a bad turn in the past few months. He’s always been selling us a lie, and nothing shows that better than his fake transport projects that distracted from real solutions.
His downfall can’t come soon enough.

Elon Musk Is Convinced He's the Future. We Need to Look Beyond Him

What are the hardest hitting points I should put in that spiel? (though odds are if someone hasn't left Twitter yet, theyrenot gonna...)
I could also talk about alternatives, why/why not you should use them. Hive, post, bluesky, mastodon... What else is there? What should I say for or against them?
In the same way that the Hyperloop’s purpose was to get California’s high-speed rail line canceled, the Boring Company is distracting from train and transit projects that aren’t as “sexy”, but could make a real difference.
