    It’s interesting how quickly that changed for Twitter. I was watching the Revenge of the Electric Car and Googling the people in the movie. At the time of the movie Tesla was struggling to get the Roadster out the door and about the launch the S model. Elon was married for the first time to Talulah Riley with 5 kids at that stage. I found this quote interesting from her Wikipedia page:

    During Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter in October 2022, text exchanges between Musk and Riley were released where she pleaded with him to buy the social media site, asking “Please do something to fight woke-ism. I will do anything to help! xx”

    And yet it was supposed to be free speech now…
