This has me thinking: given all of this, are public American officials therefore allowed to use Xitter? Presidential etc. speech is supposed to be archive-able, and placing it behind not only a sign-in, but also a $42069 (or whatever dumb figure Musk has dreamed up for API access) fee is problematic.

Facebook is not easily archiveable either, is it? Somehow it seems like some questions (like about browsing without a login) are only being made about Twitter.
Facebook lets you export all your data iirc. I haven’t tried it but I’d assume that would work for that case
There are so many ways POTUS tweets can be archived irrespective of general Twitter/X policies.
