It’s only been a few days… give the Tesla engineers time to go through the years of commie Twitter algorithms before you give it up. There’s undoubtedly millions of lines of code and apps to figure out, going to take a year to get it all cleaned out.

Why don't you give it a couple weeks, while Musk works to unravel how the system was operated, tries to find people he can trust to make the changes he wants to make, finds and fixes the landmines that were probably placed by employees and management before Musk took over, and gets the system switched over to what he wants it to be?  He can't do it by himself over a weekend.

He took over the company 4.5 days ago.  This site is so full of impatient Karen's that have no idea how those of us that actually create shit get it done right, and that to get it done right it sometimes requires more than a minute.

It was the same pathetic shit when Trump started as POTUS.  "Hurry, hurry, hurry, fire erybody"...."why is he so bad at choosing his advisors!?!?!"..."why is he allowing leaks!?!?"  It's pathetic.

Ellen used this whole fiasco to dump massive quantities of that EV scam stock he held and Ellen worked the markets up and down ( like he always does with these bag holder sheep ) to make more money than he can lose on tweeter.

Have you been banned from there before and the lock was actually for ban circumvention?

Sounds like it may be a bot-control effort … making sure randos that just sign up and follow/like partisan things are real.  Which WOULD be a change from before.  OP, how do you propose future Twitter verifies that people are real and not bots?

Got my 10th (TENTH) account locked (just made new) THEN suspended permanently yesterday (with no explanation   they just tracked me to previous suspensions either by IP or cookies) and I hadn't even neither liked or tweeted anything

The POS algorithm AND largely personnel that was responsible for moderation and new/old accounts is ALL still there.

Nothing relevant changed yet - unsure it'll change

Granted, Twitter for me is a battlefield only, I have no other interest in it and never I will but it's STILL the leftist, biased CESSPOOL it's always been

Definitely what it sounds like if all you did is like one tweet. It sucks that they locked you but this is probably a good thing as there is millions and millions of fake leftist accounts. Cracking down on fake accounts is not a bad thing.

We have a pretty sizeable informal net/hangout on 10M.

Has been on the same frequency since the 80s. I can count on both hands the number of times any medical stuff gets discussed unless one of the participants needs a ride to a medical facility. Which happened recently.

The vast majority of conversations there are about electronics, guns and FJB.

Un-fucking Twitter is going to be a process.  I think it's unreasonable to expect perfect results a matter of days since Musk took control.  I'm considering signing up but I'm waiting a while to see how things progress.

I like Elon Musk and he's better than the kunts that have been running things, but I don't trust Musk completely either.  At the end of the day he's just another powerful billionaire.  They do whatever they want and they often change their minds about shit.

Got a phone number that I don't care about spam on, got verified, logged in and locked for suspicious activity in an hour. Still hadn't posted anything,  read a little  and liked two tweets after getting back on.
