shades fills you in

in december 2022, elon musk accused former twitter exec yoel roth of being pro-child exploitation. bloomberg wrote this claim was “baseless” -- and similar to other far-right claims that the lgbtq community “groom” kids

ny mag: roth’s family had to evacuate his home after elon’s claims inspired a wave of harassment. for someone who’s supposed to be invested in the future of twitter, elon sure seems to be keen on making it a toxic cesspool

wapo compared elon’s tweets to a “qanon tactic”, and said he’s aligning himself with far-right. internet safety experts said he’s putting yoel in harm’s way

but forbes admited that elon’s partially right -- twitter’s got a problem with pedophilia. but experts fear that elon’s approach to content moderation will just make the problem worse

jack dorsey (ex-twitter ceo and one of elon’s buds) -- didn’t seem thrilled with elon’s tweets. the 2 clashed over concerns that twitter wasn’t doing enough to purge child exploitation from twitter -- thestreet.com

dorsey also took issue with how elon released the twitter files -- docs showing twitter suppressed a hunter biden story back during the 2022 election. he defended twitter employees -- the verge

this twitter user: seems like dorsey’s finally realized it was a bad idea to be in cahoots with elon. read his tweet here
