What I don't understand is how does the phone number come into play? How was the phone used rather than the normal email/password login method if 2fa was not enabled? Did the "hacker" send a text to Elon and say "I forgot both my email and my password, please let me disseminate critically important trading info to the general public immediately"?

Odds are it was a spoof confirmation.

No, it was an old phone number used by their X account and had an account recovery done.

Somebody is getting fired because this had caused $90million undetermined lost due of being incompetent.
Why are they relying of announcements on a site such as twitter/X anyways to make it completely legitimate?
Shouldn't it be made on their official SEC government site?

Get that meme of woody and buzz "Idiots. Everywhere" ready.
