I'm not sure what you're thinking, but it's perfectly reasonable.

People like you're talking about don't communicate anything of value over twitter. Bezos only follows his ex-wife who doesn't follow him back, barely uses twitter and would be unlikely to have any DMs at all. After the saudi hack, I would be surprised if he has much of anything installed on his phone.

The only real reason to hack celebrity accounts in this instance, and which they should have done, would be to deflect attention from the accounts they actually went after.

I wouldn't be so sure with Musk, for example. He even met his partner via DM.

Yeah, Musk spends a lot of time on Twitter, his DMs are def loaded, but I also agree that Bezos' is definitely empty. Still, I'm sure there are some verified accounts they would've downloaded the data from if they could, so it makes me think they couldn't easily.

I honestly didn't believe you. But it's true. That's... kinda weird.

Probably a dead account he no longer access it before divorce, hence the awkward status

[fastball]

Hmm, I don't think so. The account has tweeted as recently as Feb of this year, but his divorce was finalized in July 2019.

I always thought high profile accounts are run by media teams. I doubt the account owners know the credentials themselves or have direct access in most cases.

I’m pretty positive Elon’s account is NOT run by a media team :D

His media team works behind the counter at the pot dispensary.

If you think Musk or Trump have any sense of restraint, much less opsec, do I ever have a bridge to sell you.
