📱 Elon Musk's X (Twitter) deleted the X account of the Magdeburg terrorist, then reinstated it but it came with a catch:
All of the posts made by the Magdeburg terrorist in which he expressed support for Israel bombing Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, all of the posts expressing support for the Israeli premier, Benjamin Netanyahu and the terrorist's praise for Elon Musk and the AfD, were wiped out from the site.
Elon Musk also erroneously continues to claim that the Magdeburg terrorist was motivated by "adherence to islam" when in his own words, he said he is atheist and hates islamic countries and attacked a Christmas market because he thought Germany was too lenient and friendly with islamic countries.
Now, Elon Musk and various orbiter accounts on X are trying to paint the Magdeburg terrorist as "motivated by Islam" and accuse legacy media of "lying" when correctly assessing that he was not an adherent of islam.

Pavel Durov, a billionaire who embraces an all-black wardrobe and is often compared to the character Neo from "the Matrix," funds Telegram through his personal wealth and debt financing. And despite being one of the world's most popular tech companies, Telegram reportedly has only about 30 employees who defer to Durov for most major decisions about the platform. Telegram has gained a reputation as the “secure” communications app in the post-Soviet states, but whenever you make choices about your digital security, it’s important to start by asking yourself, “What exactly am I securing? And who am I securing it from?” These questions should inform your decisions about whether you are using the right tool or platform for your digital security needs. Telegram is certainly not the most secure messaging app on the market right now. Its security model requires users to place a great deal of trust in Telegram’s ability to protect user data. For some users, this may be good enough for now. For others, it may be wiser to move to a different platform for certain kinds of high-risk communications. "And that set off kind of a battle royale for control of the platform that Durov eventually lost," said Nathalie Maréchal of the Washington advocacy group Ranking Digital Rights. The company maintains that it cannot act against individual or group chats, which are “private amongst their participants,” but it will respond to requests in relation to sticker sets, channels and bots which are publicly available. During the invasion of Ukraine, Pavel Durov has wrestled with this issue a lot more prominently than he has before. Channels like Donbass Insider and Bellum Acta, as reported by Foreign Policy, started pumping out pro-Russian propaganda as the invasion began. So much so that the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council issued a statement labeling which accounts are Russian-backed. Ukrainian officials, in potential violation of the Geneva Convention, have shared imagery of dead and captured Russian soldiers on the platform. In addition, Telegram's architecture limits the ability to slow the spread of false information: the lack of a central public feed, and the fact that comments are easily disabled in channels, reduce the space for public pushback.
