He engages positively with an account he just punished.

These people are like “Thank you, sir. May I have another

This is exactly how he is going to engage anyone who's not a billionaire after Jan 20.

X is blocking links to Signal, a secure messaging platform used by federal workers​


Rebecca Bellan

7:30 AM PST · February 17, 2025



Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) is blocking links to Signal.me, a URL shortener used by the private messaging app Signal that allows users to send out a link that’s used to contact them directly through the service. The blocks, which impact direct messages, public posts, and profile pages, were first spotted by the blog Disruptionist.

The change comes as DOGE (the Department of Government Efficiency) takes aim at federal agencies, including NASA and the Department of Education, leaving workers turning to Signal’s encrypted messaging platform to securely share information and blow the whistle on potentially harmful activity.

Nearly 10,000 federal workers have been fired across the government as Musk’s DOGE works to slash federal spending and shut down entire agencies, like USAID.

TechCrunch has attempted to share a link via post and DM. When trying to share via a post, a message pops up that says: “Something went wrong, but don’t fret – let’s give it another shot.”

Any message with a link to Signal.me also fails to send, and a pop-up appears that says, “This request looks like it might be automated. To protect our users from spam and other malicious activity, we can’t complete this action right now. Please try again later.”

TechCrunch reached out to X for comment.

Musk is a self-described free-speech advocate, but he frequently attacks publications and individuals who have spoken out against his actions. He has also been accused of blocking accounts on X of people who have disagreed with him.

Something new appears to have broken over on X: Old Threads. I went back to revisit the best thread I ever did: A realtime live tweeting of the events leading up to and following John McCain’s thumbs down, and the thread is broken. Surfaces “most relevant replies” instead.

What I’d love to do is be able to port my Twitter archive over here (or somewhere stable) and have it show up with the old dates, etc. It wouldn’t have the interactions with other people but at least threads (like #FridayNightZillow) would be preserved on a neutral platform.

Hmm... I'm gonna go look at mine.

When was that thread you were looking for exactly? What was the date of it? I wanna look at yours on my end to see how it shows for me.
I'm on android, & I haven't updated the app in years.
I still have the bird.

This is the article that got me banned on Twitter.

Nazis? Fine.

Racist freaks? Perfectly ok.

Describing a social and media campaign to hit Tesla's stock price?

Sissy SpaceX freaks the fukk out.

OK this is where I jump off if we are destroying private citizens cars and rejoicing wtf are we, we are no better than them, people that bought Teslas did so for good reasons, the fact the owner turned out to be a massive c*nt is not their fault, ffs
