So the choices are either Elon lied again or the employees that stayed to work there cant code? This is a bot account that was correctly identified itself and used the proper APIs.

  Show me a programmer that has never created a bug and I'll show you a liar. Regardless, that's not even all the possibilities, do we know what it's last tweets were? Was it mass reported? Was it taken down by an employee or a bot? Was that on purpose or by mistake? Feel free to add more, because surely they exist.

    Or... just maybe.... Elon had it removed. I'm gonna be honest, I'm going to go with that until other evidence is presented. But I'm sure Elon Musk, for the sake of transparency, will not only reinstate the account, but make sure that it has the same label attached to it as the LibsofTikTok account to stop this from happening in the future and give us a full report on how this happened...

      According to this tweet[1], Musk's plane is now on a FAA Source Blocking list which means the flight information is not public and hence the bot is tweeting information that it should not be and is banned according to doxxing rules. I cannot confirm any of this but I'm not going to jump to conclusions either. Whatever it is, it'll become apparent, I've no need to make bets.

  Can't code is a simplistic option. Lots of moderation/account suspension these days happen via AI and heuristics. Which always leads to false positives. Do you suggest that Google engineers "can't code"? Because Google accounts get erroneously suspended all the time.
