Oh wait...
Do you think “conservatives” are that small minded and petty, without enough to do all day except “watching the left” and obsessing about their movements online?
One of the more sensible comments David Cameron ever made was ‘too many tweets make a twat’.
He also said " let’s hug a hoodie " so for vacuous and patronising soundbites, he’s got form…

I’m starting to get pissed-off. I still can’t deactivate my account, Just an error message “Oops, something went wrong, try again later”.
Politics aside:
From the Twitter website :
Deleting your Twitter account
After your 30-day deactivation window, your Twitter account is permanently deleted. When you don’t log into your account during the 30-day window, it lets us know you want to permanently delete your Twitter account. Once your account is deleted, your account is no longer available in our systems. You won’t be able to reactivate your previous account and you won’t have access to any old Tweets.
Once your account is deleted after the 30-day deactivation window, your username will be available for registration by other Twitter accounts.
This is the same process as Facebook, should work fine. However it’s interesting that this was added sometime in the last two or so years. When I deleted my Twitter account it was just pressing the “Yes, I REALLY mean it!” button 3 or 4 times.
Sure you're not trying to buy Taylor Swift tickets on Ticketmaster? ;-)
Considering most of their staff has been laid off or quit, I wouldn’t be surprised.

I believe what Elon is looking the most at right now is site usage/views, so avoid all Twitter feeds or links.
Hope you can successfully delete your account soon …
Hi Bowlie,
I couldnt deactivate my account from the app, but had no problems via a browser. First you deactive (30 days). Then its deleted. IM
Thanks, that appears to have worked.
Why?
I just created a Twitter account, so that I can delete it tomorrow.
I feel so woke now.
I thought you'd feel like a twit doing that.
That's what woke me sees in the mirror
I think twitter.com will be an interesting study case of how many engineers are needed to reliably run a global network web service, and how much employee churn it can tolerate.
Or it may happen that some co-investors or banks might try to pull out if they can or sue when they decide it all became too much of a thriller with tens of billions at stake and sink the ship.
Who knows, Elon has a proven track record of having difficult, complex stuff built successfully, maybe he (or his tech executives) can pull it off.
True but Elon always had greenfield sites whereas Twitter is a huge complex legacy system that probably requires in-depth knowledge to manage and modify.
Are you sure your case study doesn’t involve engineers changing light bulbs?
Absolutely right, good old Elon does have a record of being difficult – who can forget those difficult moments when he accused rescue divers in Thailand of pedophilia after his own, not quite rational ideas, were politely ignored?
Running for office in the US, and holding it, is nothing but a popularity contest.
It's perplexing how many people agree with you.
Exactly.

If Elon Musk treats so nicely his employees at Twitter, I wonder what customers of Tesla should expect of him if he looses interest in them...
