You mean, they dont own the rights for the things so sent them? I thought theirs EULA stated they can do anything with them?

I bet they do, but it's good to remind artists, especially since now they explicitly stated what they will use it for.

Really not a surprise. I've been noticing a rising tide of extruded image product from people who see the fandom as an easy mark (and I'm a bit worried at how much some people have embraced that stuff.)

True. Recently I've seen several cases of scammers pretending to be artists and trying to pass generated images as commissions.

Is this halfwit on a mission to kill the platform

It does seem so. Incompetence is indistinguishable from malice in his case.

For several years I've kept beating myself up over not making a twitter account - thankfully, this instance of laziness paid off.

And to think that just a couple of years ago this pitiful billionaire clown was treasured by the masses as some kind of technocratic god and a living doorway to an era of unparalleled breakthroughs. Now only the neonazis and bitcoin cultists continue to see Elon in this way.

True. I hope that the cult of billionaries and myth of them being exceptionally smart will fall someday.

I was slightly hoodwinked, but I remember one of the first things that seemed off several years ago--for someone so interested in long-duration space habitation, they weren't doing any work with the sort of controlled ecological life support systems that are the prerequisite for anything beyond a flags-and-footprints mission.
