Apparently Elon scrubbed the Maine shooter’s Twitter account, because Elon was frequently featured in his view history

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Destroying evidence is a crime. Put the fucker in prison.
I would assume that they retain the data and are just hiding it from public view. That way they can fulfill one of their organizational goals, trying to prevent useful or accurate information from reaching the public, but still have the ability to respond to a subpoena.
I feel like I should laugh at this, yet not.
I wonder if subpoenas get the poop emoji back when they are sent to Twitter.
Also, it had to actually be evidence of a crime. Following Elon may be a bad-look association but it's not likely related to any crimes
You might be right, but trying to apply logic and reason to Musk’s behavior is always a gamble.
I used to work for a company with a product for putting a legal hold on people’s accounts. It archived the data off to a safe place, with a signature so you can tell it wasn’t tampered with. By default, it kept things six months, but as soon as it ran, you’re free to delete the public copy
Every social media for as long as I can remember removes the profiles of mass shooters. Youtube does it, twitter used to do it, facebook does it, etc. Do you really think the fbi wouldn't be able to get the data because an account was removed from the platform? use your brain people
That's a bit absurd. In what way is this evidence? Evidence of what crime?
I know it’s absurd. Even if I had proof of something illegal, I have zero authority to do anything about it. I’m just venting because I’m annoyed, and I’m sick of Musk’s constant bullshit.
It helps establish a motive for the killer, which is very important in a court of law. Knowing why someone did something affects sentencing, for example.
Are you illiterate?
Wonder how many illiterate people know the word "illiterate"... 🤔
Here's a fun read for you: functional illiteracy. It's the phenomenon whereby a person is capable of "reading", as in sounding out words, but functionally incapable of extracting meaning from them beyond the painfully obvious.
I have the opposite happen to me with Chinese, like I know 危高电压 means "danger high electric pressure (voltage)", but have no idea how to sound it out. Dysfunctional literacy? 😄
Haha, I think that's usually just called "learning a language from books". My magyar (Hungarian) suffers from a similar issue.
