One of these men is San Francisco Supervisor Shamann Walton. The other was pictured on shamannwalton.

Not the Utah money man who had been pictured in Walton's Twitter account for more than a week.

Walton's Twitter bio strongly resembled Diamond's, too, save for one character: The latter said its tweets are"for informational purposes only," while the former said"for informational purpose only." Walton said in a statement earlier on Wednesday afternoon that his constituents informed him on Nov. 22 that his account was hacked, but he hadn't been able to access his account since Musk completed his $44 billion purchase of Twitter on Oct. 27.

Twitter hasn't responded to"multiple requests" to help retrieve the account, according to Walton. Musk fired about half of Twitter's 7,500 full-time employees earlier beginning on Nov. 4, and at least 1,200 resigned nearly two weeks ago. "If my community and followers want to continue to report the account, they may do so but I don't feel the need to waste energy on Twitter," Walton said in a statement.

The billionaire tweeted on Nov. 6 that the platform would permanently suspend accounts impersonating another. He said that verified accounts changing their name would temporarily lose their verified checkmark.
