    Serious question, how were these not found earlier? Couldn’t they just completely scrape his xitter account with keywords pretty quickly?

      I think this just illustrates (1) how much Elon has locked down the API access, and (2) how much less Twitter matters in culture now.

        Nah, nothing stopped anyone from manually checking his posts. This is our lazy, useless media.

        No it just shows how much journalists single-sourced everything they wrote from Twitter for nearly 2 decades and still haven’t figured out how to do their jobs without it.

      They were found earlier, I saw this tweet resurface when he was first chosen as Trumps VP. This article is just talking about old news.
