   Unfortunately, @CNN is correct regarding #X: it have become the primary way to communicate with US government officials.

   Not email 📧, not phone 📱, not even mail ✉️.

   👉🏾 #ElonMusk may be on the brink of achieving the impossible: Salvaging his $44 billion investment in X https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/tech/elon-musk-x-valuation/index.html

   This is already true for me at the state & local level (#Republicans swept through most seats towards victory in my area).

   It is annoyingly so at the Federal level now too. 😕

     @schnedan @CNN Yeah, it is annoying that my representatives are responsive on X but their staff handle all the other ways to communicate.

     There are town halls, but they schedule them during working hours so only retirees attend those.

     @darnell @CNN well in germany something like that is not permitted by law... the Law is demanding requirements which X can not fullfill.
