It's obviously easy to laugh at Elon and his fans, but his actions this week have real impact on real humans and their real families and real friends and fuck that guy

My money is on @AOC in the fight you picked, @elonmusk pic.twitter.com/1wUHzUX4fB

I don't know what to say about the news I just woke up to except this is incredibly fucked up and I'm so sorry, Twitter folks. I know how hard you tried.

I just want to say thank you to those at Twitter who’ve looked after the platform.

Yep, I’ve been critical, but I’m selfish and care.

In particular thank you to @twittersafety, who’ve protected me from this. It gave me a voice against purely commercial interests. pic.twitter.com/2BmJ62bdUT

Democracy matters and must be fought for. A bittersweet moment in American and world history. Good that Biden is saying it, tragic that it needs to be said, shameful that so many Americans won’t care. https://t.co/eHwrTqeUpJ

This is a childish evasion of the sort that conservatives mocked when a mass shooter yelled “Allah Akbar” at Ft Hood and some tried to blame it on PTSD. https://t.co/LRr242qFBE

In one case, a man fractured a man’s skull with a hammer. In the other case, the guy called 911 on himself before doing anything. Each is bad. But it’s really not hard to see the difference. https://t.co/Cm8AK7uQru

You're not.

The existence of the state? Sure. It's policies where they are defensible & reasonable? Sure. A government that includes kahanists? Never https://t.co/NMsG6FrZRG

This has pretty much been my stance from the get go. Musk running Twitter into the ground is an exciting opportunity for better replacements to rise to prominence. If he doesn’t, fine. If he does, even better. https://t.co/Z2jBdVSZmA

Republican leaders incited a man to beat Nancy Pelosi's husband almost to death and then they laughed about it and said he was secretly his lover.

So I think you know where you can take your "concern" and shove it. https://t.co/AZ1t7CIRvP

One of the disconnects between smart people and the mouthbreather brigade is that the mouthbreathers think that people like AOC are doing anything other than laughing their asses off, and Elon is doing anything other than debasing himself. https://t.co/XGrf1WZ3Gl

Americans like to think of themselves as fiercely independent, but in the context of law enforcement, our culture is rather servile and bootlicking. You can see that in the outrage whenever a criminal defense team acts in any way but cringing and apologetic.

I’m not a fan of unfettered majoritarian democracy, as you may know. But we’re about to get it, good and hard.

Godwin specifically said to call Trump a fascist, you complete and utter tool. https://t.co/znFtrtcCH9

Advertisers don’t actually need Twitter. It’s in no way the most critical platform for them. Ads are however 90% of Twitter’s revenue. So idk maybe don’t piss in their ear. https://t.co/ugP70lzONd
