Twitter briefly locked Elon Musk’s account but it’s back now
Call it a modern tragedy: For a very short period of time, we were apparently deprived of Elon Musk’s tweets.
According to the man himself, Twitter thought Musk got hacked and locked his account.
Twitter thought I got hacked & locked my account haha
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 23, 2018
“Haha,” tweeteth Musk casually, like it’s no big deal. Well it is a big deal, Elon. It is to us.
Twitter apparently did this because of a tweet earlier today, in which Musk shared an anime image with the text: “Wanna buy some Bitcoin?” Frankly, we can’t blame them.
Everything appears to be restored and back in order. But the event did bring us this short but illuminating conversation between Musk and a fan (or a troll, but who can say these days):
We’ve literally got nothing to add here.
