"Paused" 🤣
Just gotta let the smoke blow over then it's business as usual.
Maybe but it could also be carrot/sticking the Muskrat.
Fuck Adobe and their greedy CEO.
Here comes the waterworks from the alt-right fanboys
You mean just like placed next to regular Twitter content?
It's a Nazi bar now.

NCTA and Gilead are an evil organization and an evil corporation. They should feel right at home with the Nazis.
But being honest is bad for business. Need to keep the beard on.
Someone needs to edit their new "logo" and add four lines at the extremities, just to see what it would look like.
It doesn't look as good as you would think. The spacing between the lines in the "X" logo aren't evenly distributed, which means the added lines aren't spaced properly either.

This dumpster fire keeps getting hotter and hotter.
Just like the climate and oceans.
I wonder if it's all linked in the multiverse?
🤣🤣
When the platform you are on can't seem to figure out its own brand, maybe it is time to move on?
Don't worry Linda Yaccarino will sort it all out
Before or after she finds the glass cliff?
FWIW, the Nazi account has now been suspended.
Yeah, but Twitter is just a nazi safe haven under Musk. Elon Musk and Tesla have no problem associating themselves with nazis.
Who would imagine Nazis in electric vehicles was the future. Fun fact nazis were early adopters of the vegan lifestyle.
