    You also misspelled Joe Scarborough, who put Trump on the air every other morning it seemed.

    I'm no lawyer but doesn't that spell the end of pro sports teams tweeting clips of any sort?

    Not meant to nitpick with you, NC, but if there's any chance a tweet might be controversial, can y'all post a screenshot? A lot of posts end up with dead links and we have no context to what was mentioned.

    I'll try - but I <ahem> link a *lot* of tweets and have no idea in advance which among them are going to cause a shitstorm and get deleted.

    That one was posting a change in the Twitter terms of service that said that anything you posted on Twitter becomes legally the property of Twitter, and they can sell, reproduce, or a whole laundry list of other lawyer talk that basically said that anything anyone posts is then legally property of Twitter. The new TOS takes effect on 5/25/22. After then, Twitter is a copyright free zone.

    Given what's happening to the stocks of both Tesla and Twitter, I'm not so sure this deal is gonna happen.
