     @nickbearded should go without saying, but obviously, we did not launch a Tor coin.

     @torproject Now I'd expect Tor to have better security.

     Did you have MFA, or even better a Hardware Key?

     Would not mind a post mortem on this to read though.

     So, ..... is there any loss if you're not there?
     You're here to tell us you're not there .......
     Please don't support Musk by going back.

     @torproject I'm *not* saying that the compromised account was an inside job at Twitter because it's run by a Nazi and you make a tool for resisting authoritarians... But I *am* saying that if it turned out to be the case, I would not be surprised in the least.

     speculative:

     is it x.com itself doing something nefarious.

     elon musk is bad, but is it this bad.

     @torproject why are you on X which itself is compromised?

     @torproject Why do you have X account?

     Do you identify with Elon Musk's values?

     Do you also make a Nazi salute at your gatherings?

     @torproject Who wants to be on Twitter? See it as a blessing. You truly want to go down with the ship? As if we need it to find the project.

     @torproject Given your high profile, deleting the account might not be a good idea. It's likely some faker will take your handle.

     But there's nothing that says you have to use it--or even keep your tweets--after you get back access.

     Still no mention of this on your blog! I would expect your blog to cover high profile incidents like htis in a timely manner.

     Also Danielle Foré makes a nice observation here:
