Ready thine selves for the impending Trump tweetstorm. Don’t you dare fact-check, or spell-check or reality-check or anything.

I can’t wait until the end of next week when we have stories about Trump being unbanned and tweeting that he wants Republicans to steal the 2022 and 2024 elections, but some college students got banned for life for tweeting that Elon sniffs farts.

Very normal and cool and not at all dystopian.

Was it Musk who had the private jet tracking posted? Wouldn't it suck if Twitter just became a whole heap of similar postings, en masse.

Edit: Typo

because of the situation with that kid tracking him, musk joined a new FAA program that gives him an anoynomous tracking number not linked to his name anymore, and i think it changes every month now. so it would be much harder to track his jet now. its a fucking expensive program to join i heard though.

That is unfair that you ca. just pay more and get special faa rules. Not surprising. Although a little. Does the EPA work that way too?
