    The crux of it is

    ‘If X owned the data, it could perhaps argue it has exclusive rights to control the data, but then it wouldn’t have safe harbor.’ if you own it you don’t get section 230 protection.

              I LITERALLY only know Elon is because of the media, and the fact he pops up on X all the time, to every user I assume.
