We didn’t “play to our core strengths”, we created core strengths from nothing. [@WholeMarsBlog] The tweet Ashok responded to that got him hired at Tesla”
“@catturd2 They began brewing attacks of all kinds as soon as the Twitter acquisition was announced. In my 30 year career, including the entire MeToo era, there’s nothing to report, but, as soon as I say I intend to restore free speech to Twitter & vote Republican, suddenly there is …”
“@imPenny2x Since the acquisition, The @ADL has been trying to kill this platform by falsely accusing it & me of being anti-Semitic”

“@teslaownersSV @JohnnaCrider1 @TaraBull808 No, it was clear that their only goal was a hit price to interfere with the Twitter acquisition. The story was written before they even talked to me.”

“I have been against a TikTok ban for a long time, because it goes against freedom of speech. That said, the current situation where TikTok is allowed to operate in America, but 𝕏 is not allowed to operate in China is unbalanced. Something needs to change. [@elonmusk] In my opinion, TikTok should not be banned in the USA, even though such a ban may benefit the 𝕏 platform. Doing so would be contrary to freedom of speech and expression. It is not what America stands for.)”
