Antisemitic tweets have more than doubled on Twitter since Elon Musk took over, a new study finds.

Asked for comment, Musk's press department auto-responded with a poop emoji. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/03/20/antisemitic-tweets-soared-twitter-after-musk-took-over-study-finds/

@willoremus One solution is for the press to stop covering him. Entirely. I mean I’m not sure what more he can do. He has already figuratively shat on you.

They keep going back and WANT to cover him. It’s almost as if they want him to pat them on the forehead with ‘good doggy’. Up til Dec 2022, I was seeing posts on here who for sure were journos crying/complaining about their twitter account being suspended. That’s how badly they want to be there on his site AND cover him.

Unfortunate and I feel bad for them. I hope they’ll learn…one day!

Media Want to report on dumpster fires and #Musk /tweeter is a biggie.

IMHO his PR peaked with his cameo on #bigbangtheory and has been downhill ever since.

I still hope for him to have a positive epiphany and snap out of the rut; someone that has done what he has should have a lot more positive achievements in their future.
