I don't think the intention is to suspend ElonJet since Musk has already explicitly said he made the choice to not suspend it despite the alleged "personal safety risk". Trolls in this case probably refers to accounts that paid for new Twitter Blue and are now impersonating well-known figures/entities. The wording seems consistent with everything going on at Twitter so far, that he's just kinda winging it while everyone else is frozen in confusion over the abrupt changes. A $44B acquisition is quickly reverting into the volatility of a 2006 startup.

Surprise! That's when he last ran a software company.

  There's a lot of software involved in both Tesla and SpaceX. Much more advanced software then a web app.

    Every company has software. That doesn’t mean a car company operates like a social network

    Much more advanced, indeed. https://www.reddit.com/r/EnoughMuskSpam/comments/99sbwa/former_tesla_programmers_anecdotes_about_problems/ https://www.reddit.com/r/EnoughMuskSpam/comments/99sbwa/form...

  He’s running two of the world’s most successful software companies right now.

    Are you counting Twitter as one of the most successful software companies?
    - coffeeblack 4y ago
      No, Tesla and SpaceX. Plus Neuralink, but Musk isn’t involved in the operations there.
      - neaden 4y ago
        Neither of those are software companies.

        You think those rockets fly remote controlled?

        Using your logic McDonalds is a software company.

        How so? Because they buy software?

>"Trolls in this case probably refers to accounts that paid for new Twitter Blue and are now impersonating well-known figures/entities." Do you mean parody accounts?
- ssnistfajen 4y ago
  Sort of, but only the kind that didn't obey Elon's hastily drafted "rule" that require clear labeling of parody accounts. Some (hilarious) examples of what I mean can be seen here: https://twitter.com/theserfstv/status/1590593334216916992 https://twitter.com/theserfstv/status/1590593334216916992 These are amusing to look at, but for Twitter to be taken seriously long term this can't keep happening. Musk's $8 Twitter Blue change is what unleashed this chaos in the first place.
