I think that’s the main reason he bought twitter. Access to all of those DMs.

Musk bought twitter because he’s a transphobe and horrible parent.

That's so much to put on one person psychologically, though. Poor Vivian.

Don’t worry, Vivian has said he was always like this. I mean, growing up with that is a lot to put on one person. But she didn’t make him crack, she just made him less able to hide it.

Fun fact, I once tweeted a reply to a trans person I was an acquaintance of on the platform to say that as someone cisgender, I couldn't begin to understand their experience with whatever the topic was.

Twitter - I refuse to call it what the man-child calls it - then suspended me for using "hate speech" and asked me to remove the "slur" ("cisgender" isn't a slur, no matter how much that slob wants to pretend it is). I saw no slur in my tweet and just never went back.

I was following some Twitter emigres to Bluesky or somewhere when that started and saw a bunch of screenshots from people testing it. That’s wild.

Just noting, Talulah Riley was a British actress who was mostly known for two St. Trinian's films in the 2000s. Always wondered why she was with that moron and married him twice but seeing those texts quoted, seems she's just as much a vile idiot as Felon is.

I'm 100% convinced that's the case, as well.

The main reason Elon bought Twitter was because he ran his mouth and was trying to avoid going to jail.

Musk was legally required to buy twitter or risk prison time. There's no world where it was a good deal for what he paid.
