Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If it was a hack to begin with. Could just be some publicity stunt or him being drunk and coked out of his mind.
These people love fabricating outrage.
Using the perspective of "under cocaine" was how I started to understand the mind of Musk.
I can see it applied here too
The deepstate got to him! Real Trump is dead! The "Trump" we see now is a body double! They didn't want Real Trump going to jail and spilling all of oUr sEcReTs, the deepstate killed him to save him!!!!
Don Jr and Jeffery Epstein 2024!
Didn't you hear? Boebert only dates Democrats.
Don't apologize for using the headline from the article, that's always the safe bet!
Trump is old, thinks exercise is bad because it runs down your body's battery, and eats fast food. I would not be surprised if Trump died.
Trying to spark some sort of allegiant outrage, no doubt. What a pack of shitheads.
His password was "daddy"
Now it's "daddy2"
Just Trump's effort at faking his own death to avoid prosecution.
Something tells me he wouldn't even fake his own death. He just had to lie about the date so that nothing about him is true his entire life.
It would make sense for him to die right before being prosecuted because they will just let the whole damn thing fizzle out without passing judgment if he dies.
I imagine him boasting to multiple people about how smart his death-faking plan is, saying on tape what he plans to do after he fakes his death, etc.
But then no-one involved knows what live bullets or blanks look like and he dies trying to work out who to fire for killing himself.
So where are the replies? I wanna see what people wrote.
I bet if he posted any of those for real his support would only go up :(
This makes me wonder if team Trump isn't preemptively muddying the waters for pending news of Trump's inevitable death. I wonder if Trump got a prognosis recently and this is just a type of staw poll taken about how ready and willing the GOP would accept a replacement name on the ticket.
I think it was just a Twitter hack.
Both Occam's and Hanlon's razor agree on this one, it was almost certainly just a hack. Bet Don Jr. had a password like Trump2024 or something equally dumb, or he got his account phished, he doesn't strike me as the sharpest tool in the shed.
And to add to matters, Musk has fired so much staff that I bet that Twitter's security has suffered. If your staff can barely keep the servers running while implementing the latest "cool new feature" that the boss insisted be made immediately and pushed live with zero testing, they're not going to be focused on maintaining server and application security.

I doubt it's a flaw in Twitter's security, if it was it would be more than just 1 account posting dumb content (well, dumber content than normal). There's also the fact that that particular code was probably done and battle tested ages ago, so unless someone went in and screwed with it it should keep working more or less fine and I don't think any of Muskrats recent changes would have touched the auth sections of the code. If this was like a DoS or the site was down or something then I'd bet it was some security flaw that was introduced, but this doesn't smell like E.G. a SQL injection or anything like that.
