What's wrong with using X?

In the case you are asking in good faith, a) X requires logging in to view most of its content, which means that much of your audience will not see the news because b) much of your audience is not on X, either due to not having social media or have stopped using X due to its degradation to put it generally.

c) it is controlled by a direct competitor and can bury / promote your customer communication at will.

Elon has enough sense not to cross that particular bridge.

He was quick to ban links to Mastodon when it was on the rise, I'm not sure why he'd treat SpaceX/xAI competitors any differently.

He's few borders behind that bridge now. They've been injecting faults left and right, from hiding tweets and accounts as "unavailable" to sorting replies by spamminess and everything.

I'm not signed in but I can view the above linked tweet just fine.

Plus it's not a real clarification in anyway. It's just PR. Even if it's posted on Mastodon or Github or anywhere, I highly doubt you can use it to defend yourself if you get banned from violating their ToS.

You can’t view answers and the tweet threat. You need to know every single tweet. You can’t open the politician‘s feed so you have to know that there is a tweet and which it is to get information.

Not bad per se but how much legal weight does it actually carry?

I presume zero.. but nonetheless seems like people will take it as valid anyway.

That can be dangerous I think.

ideologically or practically?
