Of course Elon is free to close twitter like this, as sad as it is. It's his company (which already halved in value since he bought it...)

BUT, governments and officials really must stop using twitter for official communication at this point. It's not OK to require people to make an account just to view their communication.

Our Dutch government actually set up their own Mastodon instance, but many politicians still continue to use twitter.
