No idea of this story. What's the deets?
The ongoing Elon Twitter saga: "insert demographic" melts down

Little known music groupie whose claim to fame was sleeping with as many band members as possible, reinvented herself several times in the pursuit of fame and finally found success as a self-professed 'sex trafficking victim.'
Elon Musk decided she was legit, boosted her profile on Twitter, and banned people who criticised her. She also gained a wide following among the right wing media.
But the more people investigate her story, the more it becomes clear that she's a grifting fantasist who can't keep her lies straight.

Musk has never and will never apologise for anything, to do so is an admission of being wrong, he will never do that.

Is this the same woman loads of people here were linking tweets to, as "proof" more was being done about child porn on twitter?
I don't think lying to people about being sex trafficked can be considered a 'good job.' FWIW, she appears to have fooled a lot of leftists as well, and it's the right wingers who caught and exposed her.

Another "money maker" from Musk.
They've done a shed load of damage by improperly communicating their plan but i do wonder if this ploy might coax some of the developers to bring their third-party clients back.

Having a charged option for api seems sensible to me, just the way he goes about doing it is always so poorly thought out.
I'm sure if the guy wasn't just virtue signaling against Elon Musk he could easily get funded to pay for API usage

That isn't a proper apology, its a reply to someone else's tweet. A proper apology is a tweet on his own feed stating what he is actually apologising for. If you just saw his tweet pop up on your feed you'd have no idea what he meant. Its pretty much less than the bare minimum.
You can just scroll up and see exactly what he's replying to?

Bots pea me off so much unless they are silent bots that can be controlled with commands.
We don't need them been spammy as heck on any site.

Like I said its less than the bare minimum. If I had jumped on board a CT after a man had been violently assaulted with a hammer in his own house I would have the guts and decency to actually apologise for it on my own feed and maybe tag Nancy Pelosi in that tweet or at least mention their names. He did none of those things.

I think in reality you wouldn't actually accept any apology regardless
I didn't realise 'choosing not to pay for access to an API in order to make a non-monetised whimsical Twitter account continue to function when that access up until now has been free' was virtue signalling. You learn something new every day.

Well you've shown time and again that you don't actually think, congrats on sticking with it. And for the record when someone makes a genuine apology I accept that they mean it. That is far from a genuine apology. When someone is genuinely sorry for something they've said they make it towards the person its owed to. Not some random person on that person twitter thread.

lol i have seen her tweets everywhere in recent months, couldn’t decide if she was legit or a total grifter.
The style of her postings reeked of grift but one tends not to want to jump to conclusions on a subject of whether someone was sex trafficked or not.

It isn't, but if it's a popular account I'm sure there are enough people to crowd fund the API use.
lol, it has 580k followers.
