The real question is, what were they doing with the data during that time? Did some it disappear?

    People on Twitter are saying they noticed his likes are gone. People have screenshots of everything he did on that site so wonder if Elon is gonna get in a fuckton of trouble.

    Billionaires never seem to get in trouble, so I won't hold my breath.

    There's a bunch of information that's essentially public, which can be pieced back together. My concerned would be the potentially damning private messages and drafts that cannot be recovered.

    It was 3 days. They were probably waiting for someone to get around to collating it. You act like that should be easy.

    A company that specializes in sorting data should have an easy time with a request like this.

    Yeah that tells me you don't know shit about what you're talking about. "A company that specializes in sorting data" is the most nonsense "I want to look like I know what I'm talking about" bullshit ever lol

    Handing over data from one account with 6+ months warning is usually pretty easy actually.

    The fact that it took a fine doubling every day to get them to comply is the more interesting fact.

    It isn't 3 days, as you imply. It's multiple quarters.
