Top drs from all over the world, top immunologists - you can follow all the Long Covid research being done
at Mount Sinai- Yale from their researchers, you can connect with your favorite authors - it’s endless. Actually- more college educated people are on Twitter - so more Dems.
On Sept 7, the people of Brazil will be out protesting new law - $10,000 fine for one Twitter post. You think Americans will go for a Twitter shutdown when a third of Americans are on Twitter and many make a living off it. Also, this 3rd is mostly under 50. I think Dems staying off Twitter is a big mistake as we can be big influencers of the young.

While he may be a hypocrite for other reasons, I would not say he's a hypocrite here, that's the point.

It's insane for the govt to offer it; but since they do, it's very sensible for an individual to use it.

re: "Why is it insane for the government to offer it?" -- As I said, that's Musk's perspective. Not mine.

Musk doesn't have a perspective except to rile up his moron followers.

I'm not defending his *position*. I'm saying the "hypocrisy" argument against him in the OP is nonsense.

Trump did the same thing in 2020. He said voting by mail was corrupt then tweeted to his supporters to vote by mail.
