\u201c@jonesville @BusinessInsider It\u2019s not a real publication\u201d— Business Insider (@Business Insider) 1669190668
\u201c@semaforben @semafor What percentage of you does he own?\u201d— Semafor (@Semafor) 1668784099
\u201c@PatrickWStanley @BillyM2k It is objectively the case that \u201cconservative\u201d political candidates were more negatively affected than \u201cprogressive\u201d candidates.\n\nAnyone using Twitter knows this. Question is simply one of magnitude.\u201d— Elon Musk (@Elon Musk) 1669225589
\u201cProblem is journos are under constant pressure to get max clicks & earn advertising dollars or get fired. Tricky situation, as Tesla doesn\u2019t advertise, but fossil fuel companies & gas/diesel car companies are among world\u2019s biggest advertisers.\u201d— Elon Musk (@Elon Musk) 1527101999
\u201c@EricRWeinstein It has been really bad. Far left San Francisco/Berkeley views have been propagated to the world via Twitter. \n\nI\u2019m sure this comes as no surprise to anyone watching closely.\n\nTwitter is moving rapidly to establish an even playing field. No more thumb on the scale!\u201d— Eric Weinstein (@Eric Weinstein) 1669229627
\u201cElon Musk has said he's about context on tweets, so here's context for these shirts: They came from Twitter's Black employee resource group and were popularized by @jack, who wore a version around to conferences to support the group (and was sometimes ridiculed for it).\u201d— Ryan Mac \ud83d\ude43 (@Ryan Mac \ud83d\ude43) 1669177290
\u201cTwitter has spent the last two days after the Colorado shooting reinstating every anti-LGBTQ account that was permanently suspended over the past 5 years. Now, "ok, groomer" is trending. Elon is stoking the hate that fuels this violence even further.\u201d— Alejandra Caraballo (@Alejandra Caraballo) 1669094189
