I see that as a good thing. Prevents it rising from the grave.
Honestly, I’d actually love to see some rando grab the domain and rebuild the site as it was before Musk, or turn it into a Mastodon instance. Not because I enjoyed pre-musk Twitter, but purely because it would piss Musk off to have to compete.
Nah, just grab the domain and redirect it to X. Watch him explode.
that's what it does now
Also it would me a massive global security issue if allowed to fall on malicious hands. I mean, other than the CEO's.
What’s funny is that it’s also probably an internal security risk as well. I mean who knows, there’s probably at least one of their internal servers that still accepts credentials or keys from the dead domain. Not to mention their emails probably aren’t transferred.
All of that could be fixed but you’d have to, ya know, not fire your programmers.
Please think of the poor malware developers.
