The government, at federal, state and local levels, all rely on Twitter to conduct official taxpayer funded work. Taxpayer funded work should not happen on proprietary systems that operate with zero oversight or public transparency.

Elon polled Twitter users about this and the response was overwhelmingly in favor of open source and transparency. Everyone on Twitter got a vote.

If you oppose transparency, as many now are, you lose your credibility. So it’s another one of Elon’s people hacks, and look at all the morons falling for it.
