Negative press should be promoted. Everything else should be downvoted. This article isn't negative, but rather a desperate attempt to stay in the 24 hour news cycle.

I guess I read this as bad press!

I'm curious why you read it that way? This is Elon Musk's company putting out a PR release for their latest strategy to make money (and make the news). This is Twitter desperately trying to stay relevant. Sharing this information only serves to give free advertising to Twitter.

Just like you said, the desperation. The act is laughable. But I guess you're right, I'd rather nobody knew about it and it failed miserably instead

So you think Musk ordering Twitter to engage in legal identity theft and selling user accounts like a hacker would is somehow a good look?
