Elon Musk's daughter sets the record straight on her father's lies
Vivian, Elon Musk's daughter, speaks on her father's lies (on Thrеаds). pic.twitter.com/orcc6ySY5K

"This is entirely fake," said Vivian on Instagram Threads (Facebook's Twitter competitor). Musk made claims about her transition that Vivian states are false. Musk has publicly spouted off LGBTQ+ hate speech for years on his social media account.
Elon Musk made a whitelist for right-wing accounts and hate speech on Twitter
Elon literally made a whitelist of people who he lets do anything they want, break all the rules by using racial slurs - and they're all far right-wing accounts. Please note that Twitter pulled the subdomain "protected-users" on https://t.co/TrJePCwBBc after the leak dropped.
— Anonymous (@YourAnonNews) July 25, 2024
Twitter banned the user who brought attention to a recent Twitter API leak that showed a bit of code that let certain hate-filled users spout off racial epithets as well as LGBTQ+ hate speech. I wonder if there is a blacklist for users and keywords too.
How are you IT professionals hanging this week?

Not a bad interview if you ignore the AI sycophant drooling over Zuck's sweet hairdo. But will he fight Musk?
