X also disabled tweeting the pump.fun url

leads me to believe it is a scam/spam prevention type thing

Nothing. But I doubt the account violates any X rules! I think that makes all the difference. 

And while we’re all focused on api abuse, X seems to be focusing on what’s causing them most support requests. Hacked accounts that are then launching pumps (this was a few months ago, super common - even hit up leaders, etc; today it’s believe, they’ll probably be next). 

Pretty sure Elon doesn’t mind losing CT, because the everything app, that’s number one for news (something he likes as a metric) cannot be filled with pump & dumps via hacked accounts.

Yup. They’re looking at where their major support requests come from. Yes they have weak account security, and it’s easy to social engineer an account takeover. 

But this is the best way for them to get rid of hacks.
