@youthcaptain:

Hey! Love everything you’re doing except for the free speech stuff! Let’s get together and talk rockets? Also: could you ask @Grimes to follow me back so I can DM her? Want to invite her to a music fest we’re putting on here in Pyongyang. She will need to cover her own travel just FYI. Thnx.

@youthcaptain:

This is K-J-Un, btw. Pretty sure we met @burningman but you may not have known it was me b/c of the face makeup and no pants. Psyched you’re doing what you’re doing and it looks like we’re both into radical productivity! I’m also running my country’s space program, car industry, and social media.

@mar_a_lago_stud:

You have purchased a tremendous asset but I think you know that it will never be what it was until it regains its number one star and you know who that is @elonmusk and people are saying it would be a great business move like nobody has ever seen is what everyone is saying and you know that

@comfortablysmug:

Thank you for allowing me to bring this back: Today is going to be an insane day.

@joyreid:

@elonmusk is an evil racist billionaire who is actively trying to crush free speech in America, and eventually, the known universe. For instance, you probably aren’t seeing this tweet right this minute. RT if you agree.

@spacexcontrol:

Hey, @elonmusk, know you’re busy tried email and text but wondering if you’re going to be at the design meeting that started eleven minutes ago? Hard to pin you down with the third company added to the mix but know you like to keep up with the rockets to Mars and whatnot. If you can join, great, if not we can circle back with top line.

@paulkrugman:

When powerful billionaires own giant media companies, tweets like this will disappear. If @elonmusk truly valued free speech, @twitter wouldn’t have a “block” button, it would have a “must read” button, which would require people to follow certain accounts and carefully read each one of their tweets before being allowed to proceed to the rest of the website.

@youthcaptain:

know you’re busy and haven’t heard back but still waiting to get the blue check and am starting to think it’s anti-Asian hate? Thought @twitter was going to be different with you at the helm but maybe I was wrong?

DM from @teslacfo:

EM: concerned about backlog of decisions and management items awaiting action and need to prep for earnings call and can’t seem to get response via email text or phone, investors seeing you on here and wondering about supply chain, battery, inventory delivery etc. and meanwhile you’re trolling the senator from Hawaii? Can we refocus?

@robertreich:

@elonmusk has said he will put the @twitter source code on @github, which means in other words a powerful group of anointed people will have access to the “code” that regulates their “speech” by “accessing” another “website,” using up broadband data units that cost big bucks for the working poor. @twitter is a natural resource, like the post office, and should be managed as such.

@youthcaptain:

wondering why I seem to be losing followers?? Had 3.4 million now down to 2k and @twittersupport is telling me they were bots? Srsly?

@mattgaetz:

Next time you’re in town give me a shout I think you and I could have a good time, have a lot in common. Both mathletes. Also, you still buds with @peterthiel?

@mar_a_lago_stud:

People tell me that you’re a person of above average intelligence and I tell them I just don’t see it, I’m sorry no offense but I have a genius level IQ and what people have called a brilliant business mind and the first thing I would have done is be very nice to a certain person in Palm Beach and asked very nicely and strongly for that person to return to twitter and ratings! Soaring!

@youthcaptain:

pretty sure I’m being shadow banned and I don’t like it @msnbc @joyreid @taylorlorenz

DM from @morganstanley:

Have been trying to contact you. Terms of @twitter deal were debt tied to @Tesla stock price, which has been declining. Concerned the world’s biggest electric car company and biggest space exploration company might be sold to pay for world’s biggest bulletin board for ambulatory psychotics. CALL US.

@mar_a_lago_stud:

Also one guy cannot run three companies it just cannot happen, get yourself a CEO who is both accomplished and extremely hot is my advice cc: @ivankatrump (just saying)

Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his security detail depart the company’s local office in Washington, D.C., January 27, 2023.
