For those wondering: The second a usable alternative emerges to twitter, that's where I'll go. Instagram is supposedly releasing a text twitter-like platform in a month.

Geeze this guy sure is angry that his ex left him and started dating a transwoman and his lgbtq+ kid disowned him. Too bad he can't look at himself and realize he is the problem.

He's also amenable to fascism and possibly a fascist.

I forgot that his wife is dating a trans woman. God he is so angry because his wife doesn't love him. It's just like a comic book villian.

He’ not married to Grimes, just using her to “spread his seed”...and I seem to recall reading an article last year that one off Elons “offspring” is a Transgender Teen and went to court to legal separate herself from him...She dumped him as her Biological Father...and that EV “Cybertruck” , don’t ask me where that came from...

Ex wife I meant to say. A trans girl that legally separates herself from her father is someone that I want to meet. Everything about him is so awful.

Erin, Thank you for your reporting. As a parent of an adult trans person, I am constantly learning and educating myself and my friends about the issues. You are cherished and valued!

This guy just doesn't know when to be quiet... And knowing he has a trans kid on top of it all just [puke emoji]

I like what you said there, "doesn't know when to be quiet" - I encountered Mr. Elon on Twitter *before* he was the owner, and he was weak, thinking he could just be a big shot as a celebrity business guy, but his commentary was not competitive with the real players. He might have the money to buy out the company and take it over, but I'm better at actually writing on it.

You and me both! It is a drag on my sanity and I live in a safe State. I can only imagine what it must be like to live in less accepting/protective States.

Mississippi coast for me. It's not as bad where I'm living, but I'd like to get to a safer state soon

What is frightening for me is how the extremist G.O.P. even where they’re a minority party somehow manages to manipulate things to take control. I fear our safe States and places falling to political and electoral manipulation. It’s already occurring in Texas where the G.O.P. dominated legislature is stripping powers from democratic controlled Harris County.

Such a sad, grimy little man. Has nothing better to do while his bird app slowly dies.

Considering his own parenting, he should shut his mouth.

Okay. I will begin lobbying to criminalize Musk. Really, I have no reason to use anything he has touched. We allowed a system that is designed just for his gross appropriation of wealth. And then find out how hate-filled and small minded he is.

What a vile excuse for a human.

In today's WTF news!

I mean the rich guy who uses child labor and exploits other countries would find a shitty take to distract from his own evil deeds. This is why lobbying should be illegal. His intentions of disrupting rights and harming democracy are so clear. He should be the one in jail without parole

What an absolutely sickening human being Elmo has revealed himself to be. And absolutely pathetic that he appears to be taking orders from a bottom feeder like Matt Walsh in these exchanges.

I loved Twitter until Elon bought it. This is a bridge to far. Anyone going to delete their accounts.

Well he’s completely devalued it to only ⅓ of what he paid for it . . .

“Twitter is now worth only $15 billion, nearly a third of the $44 billion that Elon Musk paid for the platform in 2022, according to Fidelity. “

Already did. I had “Trans Naturalist” and he put the distribution breaks on me and I read he did the same for anyone with Trans and Transgender in their name. My traffic posts went down to 0, 3, and 4 views with 600-800 followers. I was not about to give him $8 for the privilege of getting more and a platform that disrespected us.

And with a tweet any respect I had for what Elon has achieved blinks out of existence due to an appalling lack of humanity. I’ll continue “speaking” with my dollars - no travel to Florida, especially as it’s not safe for my transgender child, and no Musk products.

Can we get a list going of all the Musk-related products out there? It would be nice to prevent myself from at least consciously funding this lunatic.
