OF COURSE he uses GoDaddy
Not necessarily, more like GoDaddy was the domain swatter that was holding on to that domain until Musk decided to pay the ransom. We cannot tell from the screenshot what registrar he uses for that domain now.
We can, however, tell from whois, and what do you know, it's godaddy...
I took the screenshot in the just hour, at the same time as the tweet.
He bought the domain from PayPal I think
Godaddy AND cloudflare. twitter.com doesn't use either, which coupled with the typo on the redirect makes this really feel like a very Musk initiated thing going on here.
I bet he's on the free tier of cloudflare too.
