[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much has Elon Musk said about this? Let’s be honest - he’s the one actually running the government at the moment. And if he’s unusually quiet about this incident (I have no idea as I’m not on his site) that would be noteworthy, since he seemingly can’t stop himself from weighing in on everything else. [/quote]

Well now the NTSB has announced it will ONLY be communicating to the press via the app formerly known as Twitter.  This is graft, this is corruption. Why the hell is a government bureau only being allowed to communicate through a social media channel owned by Elon.  This seems like a crime if I ever saw one. [/quote]

What?  Seriously?  No briefings?[/quote]

You people are hysterical, and I don't mean funny. The NTSB announced that due to the huge amount of requests, they will not be notifying the press of briefings, news, etc., through email. Instead will do public notifications on X for where and when the briefings will take place. Get a grip. [/quote]

[size=24] Why force people to use X!?!?

The Elon apologists are out in force. Somehow the NTSB previously managed to function without limiting themselves to one channel of communication. They are ONLY using X. It is a private platform and the federal government should not be forced to use a single privately owned media channel, especially when the person ordering its use also happens to own it. That is corruption. That is graft. That is a crime. Put plainly, Musk is using is political power for his own person financial gain. [/quote]

How can this possibly be legal?[/quote]

I would argue that it is a channel that is guaranteed to reach far more people than some antiquated email list.[/quote]
That’s not the point and you know it. Government agencies duty to communicate transparently to the people it serves should not be beholden to private for-profit interests, and Elon should not be profiting because he has cozied up to Trump. That’s called corruption and in this country there are laws against it. The American taxpayer’s are not a piggy bank for tech bros to raid.
