They haven't yet gone after the most prominent Twitter user.


That's one of the few accounts that might get you drone striked for messing with. It may stay safe.


Would be too obvious. Noone believes what that account tweets anyway.


40-some% of Americans do according to polling at least :/


What can you tweet to trump supporters for maximum monetization? Crypto scam? Doubt many of them own crypto or know what it is. Get them to send western union/itunes gift cards? Too obvious, will probably get clawed back.


Probably a link to a QAnon mercy store


Voting preference is voting preference. It doesn’t dictate a person’s entire set of beliefs. Personal observations lead me to conclude that plenty of Trump supporters know he’s crazy but still prefer that to the alternative.


They got Joe Biden and Barack Obama's


One wonders if that specific account has some unique exemption in the Twitter code to specifically deal with it.


A disgruntled employee "deleted" that account temporarily a while ago, I've seen it theorised on reddit that that account has extra protections now.


I'd assume that, too. Given the sheer impact a tweet from him might have, there are probably (hopefully!) two extra layers.


Don't worry guys I just changed my password.


Shame you had to retire the old one, but "hunter3" does have a nice and modern ring to it.


Yeah, I bet they're too stupid to be able to do it.

(He said, taunting the hackers.)


Risk/reward for the sitting POTUS just isn't there.
