One other amusing aspect of the story is that he’s gay.

A story from three years ago?
Yes. So? I only heard about it today.
Sadly (?), if you don’t have a Twitter account, you can’t see any of the replies to the Tweet, so it’s not much of a story. Don’t suppose anyone’s hit up the thread unroller?
I don’t know. I suppose I could do it.
It’s actually simple (apparently? I’ve never done it)–you reply to any Tweet in the thread with “@threadreaderapp unroll” and it will reply to that with a link to a page that has all the tweets.
One of Musk’s recent changes is that links to individual tweets now just show the tweet, not any replies, if you aren’t signed in, and I’m not going to reactivate my account (which I disabled years ago, nothing to do with Musk.) But his recent policies have made it basically unusable if you’re not logged in.
On a different subject suppose that hypothetically a centrist democrat say a governor outside the beltway enters the POTUS election for ’24. He starts with a new strategy of viscously attacking Joe Biden calling him (and his family) crooks/liars/influence peddlers in the extreme. The voter love it; he rockets from relative obscurity into contention in the democratic primaries. The Washington dems hate him, but so much the better they are all allied with biden (at least publically). Maybe he wins the primaries or maybe he doesn’t; the biden/DNC/main stream media machine is very powerful. Biden “wins” the primaries but our dark horse makes a more than decent showing. By the time of the democratic convention it is clear that biden is unelectable; only so long they can keep a lid on his obvious corruption (even with the machine). They (the dems) use the “super-delegates” system in the convention to dump biden in favor of our dark horse (who pledges to name a special counsel to indict/prosecute/etc. biden and his family if elected POTUS). Such a person would be a very powerful contender against Trump; a kind of democratic DeSantis if you like.
Best thing I’ve ever seen on Twitter – other than Elon’s posts.
