Also consider: Elon Musk (and maybe the House of Saud?) now has access to the direct messages of every politician on the planet.
(And these aren’t necessarily the most technically-savvy or infosec-aware people we’re talking about here…)

And Ocasio-Cortez seemed to think he had interfered with her Twitter account - which would be just the sort of puerile thing one expects of him
@Flowers Yep. In this particular instance, it would appear that it might have been a technical glitch as some other verified folks reported seeing the same thing but yes, exactly the sort of thing you’d expect from him.
And no one external to Twitter has a way of knowing exactly what they’re doing as there’s zero transparency. The only thing we know is that it’s Elon’s toy now and he has access to whatever he wants on it.
