    Its also a reminder Oligarchs run the US just like they do Russia and even though the law says something, if you have the money you can win instead.

    The fact the creditors, with whom this money was going to all agreed to this sale, and Elon who has absolutely no stake in it is allowed to rear his fat fucking head is already a abuse of the legal system.

  2. If the name of the service is X and not Twitter then why do Musk’s lawyers refer to them as “Twitter accounts”?

    And if that’s not enough of a reminder, just remember that Elon had no problem stealing the @X username from the person who had it for over a decade, as well as @america when he made his superPAC and @doge when he was made the head of the department of government efficiency.

    Yet another reason to go to bluesky, it’s almost like Elmo wants that

    It seems like a way around this would be for the court to have Infowars download the content from Twitter under the account as an archive and include it in the sale. The Onion would be then free to do whatever it wanted with it including transferring as much of it as they want to Bluesky or wherever and Musk gets to do whatever it wants with the Twitter account.

    It sucks that a service, if it has it in its terms of service, can just take over your account, but Xitter and others have been doing this for a long time, and it should be understood by users that this could happen.

    Social media companies cannot both own the accounts and also not be accountable for what those accounts post.

    Who am I kidding. Of course the US courts would allow this

    You do if you self host in Bluesky.  I’m not sure about if you’re hosted on their PDS.  You can export and move all your data, but it’s a little technical right now.
