I don't think they're going to get much by way of a response.

Maybe this will lead to the government blocking Twitter, probably through something incredibly easy to bypass like DNS.

Probably one of his shit emojis

One of those "it's a feature, not a bug" situations.

I hope muskrat replied with a poop emoji like he does to the press.

So just a picture of himself?

Saw today someone said Musk literally has a picture of a Nazi as his profile picture. LOL!

Yup. Totally did. The mention was near the bottom of the article.

"Sorry, Mr. Musk, a stunningly lifelike portrait of you doesn't really answer our question."

Nihilore@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

he did, though according to the ABC it's an 'automated response'

faltuuser@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Hope so.

Did they get a 💩 in return to their query?

blueskiesoc@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Yes.

From the article: "The ABC attempted to contact Twitter using a previous media email address, and was met with an automated response containing the smiling poo emoji."

Good to know in my emigration from Reddit that some things stay the same. No one still reads the articles.

Twitter has to be designed to be the most toxic cesspool of a website, and with the content moderation pretty much non-existent all hell breaks loose. It's bad takes and trash opinions galore, no wonder it fosters hate!

I can answer that for Australia! "Elon Musk owns it."
