Not sure that's quite news — the SEC has been looking at his Twitter actions since the spring. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/14/technology/twitter-elon-musk-sec.html

the tweet he was responding to:
Elon Musk’s Starlink says it can no longer afford to give Ukraine 🇺🇦 free service and asks the Pentagon 🇺🇸 to pay for it. Starlink had been a game changer in the war.This comes days after Ukrainian Ambassador @MelnykAndrij told Musk to “fuck off.”— Jason Jay Smart (@officejjsmart) October 14, 2022

X.com was a company Elon Musk ran in 1999, a precursor to PayPal (which came about after X.com and Confinity merged).
of course he'd use it again

Parler has a tiny user base, and it gets tinier every day.. I'm sure they be relieved to cash out and move on, i.e. Ye Olde Exit Strategy

i was very excited by the WaPo story abt the (apparently) hilarious internal beef at truth but try as i might the paywall stopped me reading abt it
i even have a dedicated plug-in for stealing content from the other side of newspaper paywalls but BEZOS has defeated me, must be feeling the pinch after all that rings money >:(
in conclusion i love x

if he really opens up the platform to developers i swear to you here and now i will make the most deranged app that i know how

lol thx for that lag∞n
i like that, just as a mastodon tweet is called a "toot", a truth too is simply called a "truth"
my favourite bit of the WaPo piece is where don jr simply wanders in and "asks to be paid"
(he does nothing and had no role in setting up or financing the platform) (you will be startled to learn)

judging from how many people in my address book are on signal many people use it

white nationalists also used it during Unite the Right.
so yeah, lots of people, some good, some bad, some in-between, but lots of people use it.

afaict, signal is popular among people who have reason to worry about opsec (obviously), and in countries where people don't use whatapp/wechat/ktalk, etc. so don't have an obvious option for cross platform messaging (i.e. america).
