What's to stop Musk, who's already tried meddling with German elections, from seizing Zelenskyy's, or any other European leader's X account, and posting something with dire geopolitical consequences? We're way past the point where it's wise for European leaders and institutions to rely on a presence on X—and other US platforms are not a good long-term solution either. More should follow the example of the @EUCommission and provide their updates directly, without middlemen, through the fediverse.
@Gargron @EUCommission Everyone needs to get the hell off Twitter. Even if you think Musk is on your side, he'll abandon you as soon as he thinks it's good for him. If you don't control your own social media presence, you're under someone's boot.
@IncredulousMike @Gargron @EUCommission Seems like a lot of people like being under a boot.
@violenteastcoastcity Unfortunately, I think you're right.
