In this week’s newsletter: Musk has a talent for trying to wiggle out of trouble on Twitter, only to land deeper in it – this time by asking users if he should quit as chief executive
On Sunday, Musk reinstated her account, before immediately banning her permanently, for breaking another newly created rule: a ban on any promotion of accounts on other social networks, a policy apparently instated in a hurry over the weekend in an attempt to stem the flow of users leaving the social network for sites not run at the whim of a vengeful billionaire.
And then on Monday, that rule was reversed again. Lorenz’s “permanent” ban was undone, the account promotion rule was stripped back, and the tweets announcing it, from Twitter’s official safety account, were deleted it. But even if the ban is overturned, a site-wide block on linking to Mastodon remains. There’s no longer any obvious rule that those links break, and other links, to social networks including Instagram and Facebook, work just fine.
Even if he abides by his promise – and since the poll closed, he’s been eagerly tweeting agreement at acolytes who have suggested “bot” activity, and suggestingon policy polls – there’s no hint he’s preparing to sell the site entirely: he’d be the big boss, but maybe one with less day-to-day oversight.
