Musk bans linking to Twitter’s competitors. If you link to them, that content will be removed.

He loves free speech.

RT @TwitterSupport@twitter.com

Specifically, we will remove accounts created solely for the purpose of promoting other social platforms and content that contains links or usernames for the following platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr and Post.

Yeah,none of the right wing platforms are restricted.
Once again.
I woke up early this morning and looked at Elon’s reply activity on Twitter and he is obnoxious. He won’t stop or learn better. He was calling people stupid (“your brain is too small “ to Schiff)

He’s a punk.

I have never felt so out-and-out stupid and clueless before. It's like a foreign language but without Romance language roots I can tease out.

ElonJet is a community focused, fair launched DeFi token born on the Binance network. Using ADS-B data from ADSBExchange, Elon’s fans can actively track his private Gulfstream G650 jet flights around the world, one day at a time. ElonJet is the native cryptocurrency underlying a multifaceted, community-centric ecosystem that aims to bring the satire of tracking the richest individual on the planet’s private aircraft into the crypto world.

Come fly with Elon today!
Throughout 2021, “meme coins”, such as Dogecoin and Shiba Inu dominated the crypto sphere and became one of the hottest opportunities for investors, serving as the first point of call for the majority of new crypto enthusiasts entering the digital asset space. During that same period, Elon Musk’s regular crypto mentioning activity on Twitter pumped tokens like never before.

To accompany this, Elon Musk very recently made the decision to offer money to 19-year-old Jack Sweeney, in attempt to persuade him to take down a Twitter bot he’d built that directly tracked the movements of Elon’s private jet. The twitter account has amassed over 124K followers as of writing, and it soon ended up catching Musk's attention.

He reached out to Sweeney and asked him to delete it. "Can you take this down? It's a security risk," he wrote, adding that "I don't love the idea of being shot by a nutcase" and that he worries about "crazy people" tracking his every move. Sweeney answered that he's willing to shut down the account in exchange for a Tesla Model 3.

Musk quickly made a counter-offer: $5,000. Sweeney replied to the billionaire asking for a staggering $50,000. The concept behind ElonJet has been inspired by the global popularity of the “meme coin” phenomena, accompanied by Sweeney’s jet tracking endeavours.

We aim to build a strong community around this project to support Sweeney by purchasing him a Tesla if Elon won't!
Anyone can create a BEP20 token on BNB Smart Chain with any name, including creating fake versions of existing tokens and tokens that claim to represent projects that do not have a token.

If you purchase an arbitrary token, you may be unable to sell it back.

https://twitter.com/Acosta

Jim Acosta just mentioned on his newscast that he's been locked out of his Twitter account, likely because of this on his profile page.

Jim Acosta is also on Post and Mastodon

:snippity:
The owner of "elonjet" is using the services of some company that does blockchain based "currencies" or tokens. Like many of the NFT creators who want to shine with their own "currency" for their own product. The service company provides a new blockchain of freshly created ("minted") tokens aka "coins". Owners sell these tokens in exchange for other cryptocurrencies that have real trading worth. Buyers then get access to "something" by paying for the information with the special coins. With Elonjet the "something" is a livestream of Elon Musks flying or grounded hardware.

One can get that also by getting free apps on Android or Apple, like FlightRadar24.

It has revenue (gross income) from ads and blue checks and such, it just doesn't have any profits.

I think this is a great EV and I traded in a Tesla Model S for one a couple of years ago but I will refrain from engaging in free promotion of the Porsche Taycan here, even though it is a much cooler car than the boring Model S.

Not sure how much of a difference it would make (as he would still be controlling indirectly and posting his BS), but I think he really does think he is more popular than he is…

Elon Musk blamed a Twitter account for a stalker. Police see no link.
The Twitter owner threatened legal action, changed the platform’s rules and suspended journalists’ accounts after a confrontation involving his security team at a gas station. But the incident’s timing and location cast doubt on a link to the @ElonJet account.

Gifted link.
