Judge - "Are you trying to cozy up with Trump?"

Musk - "Why? D-did he say something about me~?"

I feel it for the paralegal that has to read the early drafts of “Covfefe” eight hours a day.

omg what could have been so questionable that he wrote a draft but didn’t tweet it?

[-] AlecSadler@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 year ago

Multiple people shared the account and communicated by making draft messages. And apparently notable things were said/left as draft.

That makes way more sense than the hypothesis that Trump has a filter

How the f did Elon manage to resist this even for a little bit. That shit is like prosecution 101, this makes Elon look so much worse than he did, and it makes Twitter look incredibly unreliable.

There is something that should blow up in the media.

Dude this is not news at all. It was pretty clear that elon's goal with Twitter, I mean x, was to replatform fascists to gain some sort of standing with the conservative party. He's been an on an anti-liberal crusade for some time now.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
