It's day 7 of me and some other journalists being suspended on Twitter because we reported factual public information that Twitter's "free speech absolutist" owner didn't like.
@drewharwell @micahflee It's day 30 for me and other indie journalists being suspended because Andy Ngo told Elon Musk we are terrorists
@chadloder I am not in the least bit surprised that Musk's Twitter doesn't know what "bullshit complaint from far-right assholes" is. or for that matter what a "malicious right-wing mass flagging campaign" is.

@weisgram @mathlover @chadloder @drewharwell @micahflee you can take the boy out of apartheid South Africa, but you can't take apartheid South Africa out of the boy.
@weisgram @mathlover @chadloder @drewharwell @micahflee If he thinks that tribe (or anyone else) is going to buy his electric cars, he is in for a rude shock.
@andytiedye @weisgram @mathlover @chadloder @drewharwell @micahflee right? Fossil fuels for the old white fossils.
@mclendenen @weisgram @mathlover @chadloder @drewharwell @micahflee Let's not be ageist here. At 71, I probably qualify as an "old white fossil" and much closer to Bernie Sanders (another old, white fossil)
than the former guy.

At 47, I'm pretty sure I don't qualify as a fossil yet, but I think I'm starting to harden. I also live out in "redneck country".
I don't see many full electric cars out here, but I do see a lot of hybrids. It's simply a matter of infrastructure out here: charging points are few and far between, gas stations are relatively common. The plug-in hybrid makes a lot of sense if you live in the sticks - charge on the grid as much as you can, but you aren't stranded if that isn't going to happen.
@TheGreatLlama @mclendenen @weisgram @mathlover @chadloder @drewharwell @micahflee and in fact we just purchased a plugin hybrid.
@mathlover @chadloder @drewharwell @micahflee Given who Musk likes to engage with, I think he’s found his tribe.
