Musk claimed that it's temporary. Either way this is an absolute disaster. This must be costing them insane amounts of money.
"we were getting data pillaged" ... LOL I wonder what on earth that means in his feeble mind.
Just some deranged rich snob who thinks UGC is .. his? Kinda sad if you think about it. People posted on Twitter with the expectation of it being public, not some man's sandbox.
That whole tweet reads like a screenwriter shit it out to fill some tech mumbojumbo plot point for a police procedural.
He only cares because it's not him that's doing the pillaging.
"Temporary" in corpo-speak means permanent if it generates profit and there-were-some-technical-issues if it doesn't, so this is just Felon Muskrat testing the waters.
