      People on Twitter are saying they noticed his likes are gone. People have screenshots of everything he did on that site so wonder if Elon is gonna get in a fuckton of trouble.

      • Billionaires never seem to get in trouble, so I won’t hold my breath.

        There’s a bunch of information that’s essentially public, which can be pieced back together. My concerned would be the potentially damning private messages and drafts that cannot be recovered.

      It was 3 days. They were probably waiting for someone to get around to collating it. You act like that should be easy.

        The warrant was first served in January. They could have gotten it done in time but dragged their feet until the last second.

        A company that specializes in sorting data should have an easy time with a request like this.

          Yeah that tells me you don’t know shit about what you’re talking about. “A company that specializes in sorting data” is the most nonsense “I want to look like I know what I’m talking about” bullshit ever lol

        It takes less than 30 minutes to write that sql query, no shot someone needs to spend 3 days “collating”.
