So @drewharwell should post this here not just on Twitter, but, this email response from Elon is... well... something.
@mmasnick @drewharwell this guys is the dark pied piper of $8chan
@mmasnick @drewharwell heโ€™s like a middle school bully. Jesus H Christ.
@mmasnick @drewharwell a man in his 50โ€™s that uses LOL and emojis to this insane degree has brain issues
@oldmanmike @drewharwell Um. I'm almost 50 and I use "lol" and emojis. So, I'm going to push back on that slightly. Though, it IS possible I have brain issues.
@mmasnick @oldmanmike @drewharwell far too much exposure to the internet does do that.

@Ashton or is just having some sense of humor, and not taking him/her self always too seriously.

@mmasnick @oldmanmike @drewharwell

@drewharwell @mmasnick ok ok Iโ€™m 40 and likewise but EM takes ๐Ÿคฃ to new levels of crazy ๐Ÿ˜
@mmasnick @oldmanmike @drewharwell lol - my brother writes emoji novels, heโ€™s 70.
@BduzBoop @mmasnick @drewharwell what on earth is an emoji novel?!?!?! Inthink@my 6 yo daughter does that ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ‘พ๐Ÿ‘ฟโ˜ ๏ธโ˜ ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ฝ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ‘ฟ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿค’๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

@BduzBoop @mmasnick @oldmanmike @drewharwell
Say less, Iโ€™m in!

This is a fantastic concept!!!

@mmasnick @drewharwell โ€œlolโ€?! Just โ€œlolโ€?! Wow.
@mmasnick at least Nero could play the fiddle. Yeeesh

@mmasnick @drewharwell

Great to see someone in leadership who's still answering their own email.

@mmasnick @drewharwell There are two possibilities, and both of them are โ€œwhen people tell you who they are, believe themโ€ scenarios. 1) he absolutely believes QAnon shit, and 2) โ€œwe are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about who we pretend to be.โ€ Either way its not good.
@mmasnick Serious topic deserving of at least an "lmao."
@mmasnick @drewharwell QAnon antics fit the unguided, opportunistic model of stochastic terrorism. Similarly, I think Elon's behavior fits narcissistic opportunism. He has no grand plan but he'll change direction for personal advantage when an opportunity arises. I think he's punishing critics and cleaning house and watching how things play out.

@mmasnick @drewharwell Well, a quote is a quote.

No need to say write the boiler plate "when requested to comment, Mr. Musk did not immediately respond"

@mmasnick @drewharwell
I mean, it's not like we expect him to answer directly.

@mmasnick @drewharwell
Now Elon gave him no choice. He just suspended Drew's account, along with those of at least 8 other journalists.

@oneunderscore__: Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell. Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happen...โ€ฆ

@mmasnick @drewharwell Elon's going to for real become the joker, isn't he
@mmasnick @drewharwell My working hypothesis was Elon Musk was nothing more than a shitpoasting troll and this response proves it.

@mmasnick @drewharwell

Why leaving Twitter now is a must:

@mmasnick Iโ€™m nearly 60 and I use LOL and emojis

@mmasnick @drewharwell

Ok,, so when the lol gets quoted, will it be capped? Or left as is? With a (sic)l??

@mmasnick @drewharwell somethings amiss here. The flight GPS data ban impairs drone tracking as well, and hours later Kviv bombing increased significantly? Ukr has used twitter for low rent #OSINT

@mmasnick
I repeat myself but the hashtag #BirdChan is so on point.

@drewharwell

@mmasnick hmm.. ๐Ÿค”
My response would be exactly the same.. if I had to react to every nutjob comment by some crazy people in such a position I would have nothing else to do..

Best thing of too never feed a troll. It never ends good. Even if he says that this is nonsense one half would not believe him and the other think it is proof that he does and only "plays" the media.. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

@mmasnick @drewharwell Such an interesting response. Not even sure what to say about that.
